Description
This is a barn located approximately 12 metres east of Edge Barton Manor, dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century, possibly linked to a datestone from 1683. It is constructed from local stone rubble, which includes some squared blocks of Beerstone ashlar. Some of these blocks feature incised decoration similar to that found in the main house, suggesting they may be reused materials. The barn has a thatched roof and is designed as a bank barn aligned on a north-south axis, terraced into the hillside.
Access to the barn is from the terrace on the west side, where there is a large 19th-century horse engine house. This side features a full-height double doorway, with a smaller doorway on the opposite side. The basement serves as a coach house facing east. On the east side, the double doorway is flanked by short projecting midstrey walls, and to the right is the engine house, which has a roof supported by Beerstone ashlar posts. The main roof is half-hipped at both ends. The north end displays a stone inscribed with "HB 1683," and a window here blocks a former hayloft loading hatch. A 20th-century window has been added to the south end.
On the west side, the left (north) end is made of stone rubble where it meets the stables, while the remainder features weather-boarded timber framing over a four-bay coach house, with each bay containing double doors. All joinery details are from the 20th century. The interior showcases plain but sturdy carpentry, with an open roof supported by A-frame trusses featuring pegged lap-jointed collars. The southern trusses, in the section with the timber-framed west wall, rest on tie beams supported by oak posts with jowled heads.
