9/71 Barn about 10m south east of Hodges

GV II

Barn. Probably C18 or earlier in origin, altered and re-roofed in the late C19. Framed construction, clad in weatherboarding; peg-tile roof; various brick additions.

Plan: 4-bay barn, facing west and sited at right angles to the house. Full height doorway on the west side. Later brick outshut across front left, rear left outshut; late C20 rear lean-to.

Exterior: Roof half-hipped at left end, hipped at right end and carried down as a catslide to the front left outshut, which projects beyond the main building at the left end. The outshut is buttressed on the front with a probably C19 plank door on the right (inner) return. The barn has 2 doors on the right (north) and a loft door over.

Interior: Evidence of considerable re-use of timber in the wall-framing. This has jowled wall posts which pre-date the C19 king post and strut roof.

Group value with Hodges.
