Description
This building is a barn located approximately 35 meters northwest of the Old Farmhouse at Style Place. It dates from the late 17th century and was partly rebuilt in the mid to late 19th century. A small section of the barn is weatherboarded, likely covering original 17th-century timber framing, while the rest is constructed of 19th-century brick, with a Flemish bond pattern, featuring red brick at the rear and ochre-colored brick at the front. The roof is covered with peg tiles.
The barn faces southeast towards the farmhouse and is divided into three compartments beneath a continuous hayloft. At the northeast end, there is a room with a staircase leading up to the hayloft. Slightly left of center is a cartshed, and the left end section serves as part of a stable, which includes a lower and narrower range projecting from that end. Due to extensive rebuilding in the 19th century, it is unclear how the original 17th-century barn functioned, as the framed walls only survive at first floor level on the front and end walls.
The exterior features an irregular front, with a brick ground floor and a weatherboarded first floor. All ground floor openings have segmental arches above them. There are two doorways: one on the right leading into the barn and a wider one on the left leading to the cartshed. Both doorways have brick surrounds that project from the wall, and there is a similar small doorway into the stable wing. The windows are fixed pane with glazing bars, with two similar windows on the first floor and a hayloft loading hatch on the right. The roof is half-hipped at each end, while the stable extension has a gable end.
Inside, the hay floor is supported by plain 19th-century crossbeams and joists. The barn features a 17th-century four-bay roof with tie-beam trusses, although the arch braces have been removed. The trusses include staggered butt purlins and raking struts, with most of the common rafters being original.
