Description

This building is a barn located approximately 7 metres east of Glebe House. It dates from the late 16th century to early 17th century and was remodelled in the 20th century. The original structure is made of plastered cob, while the later work is of plastered brick. The roof is covered with corrugated iron over thatch. The building faces west and now functions as a small two-room cottage with an end stack at the left (north) end and a garage at the right end, both resulting from the 20th-century alterations. The plastered walls make it difficult to determine the original layout.

The front features a ground and first floor casement without glazing bars located between the cottage door and garage doors, all of which are from the 20th century. The roof has a gable end on the left and is half-hipped on the right. Inside, the garage contains an axial beam of uncertain date from the 18th or 19th century, which has a roughly-finished soffit chamfer. The roof above includes two original side-pegged jointed cruck trusses that did not originally have collars. These trusses support two sets of trenched purlins and a ridge, and the original couples of common rafters are still pegged to the purlins. The roof seems to extend into the cottage section, but that area is not accessible. One of the purlins is smoke-blackened timber, likely reused from a late medieval farmhouse. The building's origins are unclear, but it may have been part of the original farmhouse that was replaced by the current Glebe House in the late 17th century.
