New Barn Nurseries

New Barn Nurseries is a house that was originally a barn, dating from the 16th century, possibly before 1550. It was reassembled in the 18th century and converted into living accommodation in the 1920s. The building is timber-framed and clad in weatherboarding, sitting on a brick plinth that has been partly covered with cement. It features a steeply pitched tiled roof with end gablets. Iron pintle hinges are still visible on either side of the original central cart entrance.

The north front has three 20th-century casement windows with leaded lights and a central arched wooden door, which has elaborate ironmongery that was reused from a 19th-century building, along with a 20th-century wooden porch. There are triangular early 20th-century wooden buttresses on concrete bases. The west elevation includes three windows and a 20th-century door. The south elevation has five casement windows, including a large central window, and similar buttresses to those on the north front. There is also a 1920s weatherboarded garage extension of a lower elevation to the east.

Inside, the building consists of three bays. The wall frame features a midrail and arched braces above, with jowled upright posts that are mainly from the 16th century, although one has an 18th-century cut profile. The arched braces were replaced by bolted knees during the re-assembly. The tie beam to the south appears to have been turned so that the worn face is now inside the building. The roof has thick rafters, trenched purlins, arched windbraces, and angled queenstruts. The interior also includes 1920s partitions, inserted floors, a staircase, and a false roof in the central bay, but the original 16th-century timber frame remains substantially complete.
