North Barn

North Barn is a Grade II listed building located in Capel, dating from the 17th century, with an attached granary and cartshed from the 18th century, and an early 19th-century outbuilding. The barn is timber-framed and covered in weatherboarding, standing on a brick plinth with a gabled tiled roof. The north side features double cart doors, along with a door and several window openings. Inside, the barn has five bays with a well-constructed frame. The wall frame includes a midrail, diagonal and ogee-shaped windbraces, jowled upright posts with curved tension braces, and is largely intact except for some replacement timbers in the central bay on the south side, which originally had a cart entrance. The roof is a queenpost design with clasped purlins, windbraces, and original pegged rafters.

The granary and cartshed are also timber-framed, clad in weatherboarding with a tiled roof that is half-hipped to the south. The south end is open on the ground floor, with a first-floor door leading into the granary, flanked by sidelights. The loft interior is boarded with lath and plaster, and wooden bay partitions remain for grain storage.

The outbuilding is constructed in Flemish bond brickwork with some grey headers, while the south gable end is weatherboarded on a brick plinth. It features a brick modillion cornice, a triangular brick buttress, and a tiled roof. This complex serves multiple functions and showcases a range of architectural styles from different periods, including a 17th-century barn, an 18th-century cartshed with a granary above, and an early 19th-century outbuilding.
