Barn Adjoining Higher Boden Farmhouse

The barn adjoining Higher Boden Farmhouse is a 18th-century structure featuring a shippon underneath. The ground floor is made of painted rubble, while the upper part is cob over wooden lintels. It has a steep corrugated iron roof, which is adjacent to a farm building on the left and the farmhouse on the right; it was formerly thatched. The barn has a rectangular plan with five wide doorways on the south-east side. The doorways at both ends are wider, and there are first-floor openings above these and the middle doorway. Two of the doorways are partly blocked, and some old ledged doors remain. Inside, there are five roughly dressed ceiling beams and a complete roof structure supported by nine trusses with pegged lapped collars and halved pegged apices. This long, low building likely served as a grain or fodder store above and a shippon below, and it shares some design features with open-fronted linhays.
