Description
Kings Barn is a 17th-century barn that has been converted into a house in the mid-20th century. It features a stone uncoursed rubble plinth and weatherboarding, likely on timber-framing, topped with a thatched roof that is half-hipped to the right. A 20th-century chimney pipe is located at the center of the ridge. The building is two stories high and consists of a five-bay range. There is a 20th-century door at the center and a garage door to the left, with an irregular arrangement of 20th-century windows. The interior has not been inspected.
