Description
A timber barn and associated agricultural buildings dating to the late 18th century, originally farm buildings to Clare Farm and depicted on an Ordnance Survey map of 1789. The complex is arranged in a roughly L-shaped layout. The central barn is timber-framed and clad in wide tarred weatherboarding, featuring a half-hipped tiled roof and a double cart door. It is a four-bay barn with an inserted floor and wall frame incorporating diagonal braces.
Attached to the southwest is a two-storey range with a ragstone ground floor and a weatherboarded first floor, also with a tiled roof. The first floor has a three-plank loading door, while the ground floor features three openings with brick surrounds and iron bars. A similar two-storey range is located to the northeast, constructed of the same materials, with a loading door to the first floor and two openings with iron bars.
An L-wing attached to the northeast has a front facade of red brick with grey headers and a weatherboarded first floor, contrasting with a rear of Kentish ragstone. Tiles are missing from the roof. The roof structure incorporates through purlins, collar beams, and queen struts. A cottage formerly stood to the southeast but has since been demolished.
