Description
This is a threshing barn dating from around 1800, located approximately 25 metres south-east of Highlands Farmhouse. It features an attached stable and a yard wall. The barn has a timber frame resting on a brick plinth, with weatherboard cladding and a red tile roof, while the stable has a slate roof. The barn is rectangular, oriented on a north-east/south-west axis, and consists of three bays. On the south-east side, there is a porch and an outshut. The threshing floor in the first bay has opposed wagon entrances, which currently lack doors. The front entrance is covered by a porch with a hipped roof, and to the right of this porch is a continuous outshut under a catslide roof. The north-east end of the barn features two vertical openings and a square loading door above. Inside, the barn has machine-sawn post-and-truss construction, with a roof truss that includes two queen struts and various wooden partition walls.
The stable, which is a full-height lean-to attached to the south-west end of the barn, has three stable doors. The yard wall is connected to the left rear corner of the stable, enclosing an oval area approximately 10 metres long and curving to form the boundary between the yard and the entrance drive. This wall, which is made of flint and brick and stands about 1½ metres high, features some integral piers, finishing courses, and rounded brick coping, along with a gateway opposite the stables. This structure forms a close functional group with the nearby granary.
