Description
The building is a barn located to the south of Charlton House, dating from the late 18th century. It features weatherboarding on a timber frame with an English bond brick plinth and a half-hipped tiled roof. The barn consists of five bays and has weatherboarded outshuts on the north side. The north transept includes a half-hipped roof and double planked doors, while the outshuts also have planked doors. The south side is equipped with planked double doors. The roof structure includes a tie-beam braced to the main posts, with two pairs of queen posts supporting the purlins, and a lower tier of purlins that has straight wind bracing to the centre bay. Attached to the north-east of the barn is an 18th-century sheltershed, which has an open front facing the fold yard, supported by wooden posts, with weatherboarded rear and sides, and a tiled roof.
