Barn To The East Of St Andrews Farmhouse

The barn located to the east of St Andrew's Farmhouse is a Grade II listed building, dating from the mid-17th century. It has been partly rebuilt in the 18th century and extended in the 19th century. The structure is made of stone rubble with ashlar jambs at the porch, while the west end is rebuilt with English bond red brick, some of which is vitrified. The gable-ended roof has been re-clad with metal sheets.

The barn has a plan that includes eight and a half bays, with a central threshing bay featuring a two-bay porch on the south side. There are later outhuts on the south side and at the east end, as well as an addition at the west end.

On the exterior, the south front showcases a large gabled porch that provides access to the cart entrance, flanked by later brick outshuts on both sides. It is noted that there were originally buttresses on the front wall of the barn, which are now incorporated within the outshuts. The rear, or north side, has a cart entrance at the center that has been converted into a window, with a rebuilt brick wall to the right in English bond.

Inside, the barn features three trusses at the west end that have been replaced with late 19th-century king-post trusses. The remaining six 17th-century raised jointed cruck trusses include cambered collars with curved braces and a diagonally-set trenched ridgepiece, supported by three tiers of trenched purlins. Some common rafters and purlins are missing. The scarf joints on the cruck blades and the curved braces to the collars exhibit unique 'false tenons' that serve as pegs through the braces into the principals, pegged from the side and projecting from the face of the braces. The two-bay porch contains tie-beam trusses with cambered collars. A 20th-century suspended ceiling conceals the roof structure. Overall, this barn is a largely intact 17th-century example with notable carpentry jointing details in its roof structure.
