Ploggs Hall Barn, East and West

Ploggs Hall Barn is a large barn that has been converted into two houses. It dates from the 18th century or early 19th century and was converted around 1980. The barn is timber-framed and clad with weatherboards, with brick footings that have been reset at the back. It features a peg-tile roof.

Originally, the barn was a large double barn facing south-southeast. It has a long structure with two sets of opposing double doorways leading to two threshing floors. Both front doorways have full-height porches, which are recessed behind low front walls of integral outshots; the outshot on the right (east) end is missing. The right end has been converted into a garage, and each porch serves as the main entrance to one of the two houses inside the barn. Both houses are two storeys tall and have entrance halls that open to the roof.

On the exterior, both porches feature recessed front doorways with 20th-century glass doors in glazed screens that are as large as the original double doors. New casement windows without glazing bars have been added around the houses. There are disused double doors at the rear. The tall roof is half-hipped at both ends and extends continuously over the former outshots, while the porches have hipped roofs.

Inside, little of the framed outer walls is exposed. However, the builder claims to have preserved most of the structural carpentry, except for some parts in the back wall. The roof structure is visible in the entrance halls, featuring collared tie-beam trusses with clasped side purlins and queen struts.

This converted barn is part of a group with the farmhouse and former oasthouse nearby.
