Folly Barn

Folly Barn is a barn and attached open shed built in the early 19th century. It features brick and flint banding with plain tile roofs. The large barn has half-hipped ends and a deep projecting hipped midstrey on the north side, which includes flush, full-height doors on the south side. The roof on the north side sweeps down over infill to the left of the midstrey and then extends as a multi-bay open shed supported by heavy square posts with spreader blocks at the eaves. This shed also has a single course of slate, similar to the far side of the main barn. To the right of the midstrey, there is a lean-to with corrugated asbestos roofing and a brick outer cheek. The gable facing the road has a central door and a small ventilation slit, while the outer gable features a loading door at an upper level. The main projecting midstrey has wide paired doors and is flanked by brick buttresses with two offsets. The interior has not been inspected. The barn was formerly part of the Portman Estate and is now Crown Property.
