Barn Approximately 20 Metres North of the White House and Little Orchard

This building is a barn that dates from the late 16th century to the early 17th century and is located approximately 20 metres north of the White House and Little Orchard in Whimple. It was re-roofed, likely in 1868, when the nearby White House and Little Orchard were constructed, and some of its walls were rebuilt in the mid-20th century. The original section is made of plastered red cob on stone rubble footings, while the rebuilt parts are constructed from 20th-century concrete blocks. The barn has a thatched roof.

The former threshing barn faces southeast and features a central full-height doorway, which is flanked by short projecting midstrey walls and contains a 20th-century double plank door with two flaps. The roof has a gable end on the left and is half-hipped on the right. There was once a full-height doorway on the rear wall, but this was blocked in the mid-20th century when the walling on the right (northeast) end was rebuilt.

Inside, the barn is mostly open to a roof supported by 19th-century tie beam trusses, but there is an apple loft in the western corner made of plain yet sturdy oak timbers. At the left (southwest) end, a side-pegged jointed cruck truss from the late 16th century to early 17th century remains. The underside of the loft timbers and the roof timbers show signs of being smoke-blackened, likely from some industrial use. The barn is part of a group of listed buildings in The Green.
