Description

The building is a barn located to the west of Wick Farmhouse, dating from the 17th century and extended in the early 19th century. It consists of two attached barns aligned on the same axis. The exterior features weatherboarding on a timber frame, with an English bond brick plinth and a gabled roof covered in corrugated asbestos. Each barn has five bays with a central threshing floor. There is a pair of double doors on the east side and a hipped porch on the west side of the south barn, along with an inserted entry to the south gable from the mid-20th century.

Inside, the roof of the 17th-century north barn has jowled posts that are braced to tie beams, with raking struts connecting to collars and straight windbraces supporting two tiers of butt purlins. The early 19th-century south barn features a similar roof structure made of sawn timbers, with one tier of butt purlins.
