Manor Barn With Gatehouse And Attached Walls Approximately 85 Metres North West Of Appleton Manor

This is a late 16th and early 17th century barn with a gatehouse and attached walls, situated approximately 85 metres northwest of Appleton Manor. The barn is now used as a store. It has a limestone plinth and the front is weatherboarded over timber framing, with four square panels to each bay. The rear is timber frame with brick infill. The roof is gabled and covered in Marseilles tiles. There are plank doors; a 20th-century door is on the left side, and an 18th-century door with old strap hinges on the right. An outshut of limestone rubble is attached to the rear. Inside, the barn has a five-bay collar-truss roof with wind braces, butt purlins, and braced posts. Adjacent to the barn is a two-story gatehouse, built of similar materials, with a gabled old tile roof and a through-entry. Attached to the right of the barn are 18th-century limestone walls that enclose a kitchen garden. The walls are constructed of limestone rubble with brick courses at the top, extending for roughly 90 metres along Church Road and returning to meet a plainer limestone rubble wall that connects back to the barn, fully enclosing the kitchen garden.
