Description

This barn, located about 12 metres north of Hill View Farmhouse, dates back to the 16th century and has undergone later alterations. It is constructed of rubble with a pantiled roof and features a three-room plan, similar to that of Manor Farmhouse. The barn is two storeys high.

On the west side, there is a three-light window with two ovolo mullions, an ovolo frame, and iron stanchions, alongside a blocked door with a timber lintel. There is another three-light window with chamfered mullions, some remaining diamond leaded lights, and timber diamond stanchions for each light. Above this, a small three-light ovolo mullioned window with iron stanchions and plank shutters is present. Additionally, there is a two-light window with a plain frame, a blocked entry with a timber lintel, and a single-storey lean-to at the south end, which has a two-light timber window in a plain frame with plank shutters and strap hinges.

The east side features a cart entry, a four-light window with timber diamond mullions, and an unglazed frame and lintel, with straight joints in the wall on either side. There is a smaller cart entry with a timber lintel, above which is a small three-light window with ovolo mullions and slender diamond mullions in each light, along with moulded jambs, a plain lintel, and cill. A two-light window with a timber frame and lintel, a square mullion, iron stanchions, and plank shutters is also present, along with a door under a timber lintel and a square window with one moulded jamb, one plank shutter, and a timber lintel. An addition with a pitched roof and a small plank door is located here as well.

Inside, the barn retains original tie-beams in three bays to the north, featuring deep chamfers, mortises for ceiling joists, cambered collars, and plated yokes. Doors remain between the three rooms at the upper level. The barn is marked on a 1659 map of Hill, plotted for Edward Fust, who was then Lord of the Manor.
