Barn At Brownhill, On South Side Of Farmyard

The barn at Brownhill, located on the south side of the farmyard, dates from the mid to late 17th century, with a late 19th-century addition and 20th-century cladding. It features a timber frame set on a low stone wall, covered with corrugated iron cladding, and includes brick outshuts and a plain tile roof. The structure consists of five bays, with outshuts at the front flanking a central mid-strey that has a corrugated iron double door and a hipped roof. The hipped roof is adorned with gablets. At the rear, there is an opposing cart entrance with a corrugated iron double door and buttresses supporting the dwarf wall on the right side.

Inside, the barn has a large-scantling timber frame, which includes a sole plate, jowelled wall posts with curved braces connecting to the wall plate and tie-beams, a midrail, closely spaced vertical studs, and straight diagonal raking struts. The roof features curved queen struts, through purlins, and square-section rafters. An unpublished report details the succession of owners of the property on which the barn stands.
