Description
This is a barn and adjoining linhays, located approximately 10 meters north-west of Easterbrook Farmhouse. Likely built in the 18th century, it features cob on rubble footings with some secondary brick patching and a corrugated iron roof, which was originally thatch. The barn faces north-east and has large double doors in the center of its long walls that open onto a threshing floor.
Two contemporary linhays are positioned at right angles to the front of the barn, lining the approach to its entrance. The barn has a hipped roof on the right side and a gable end on the left, where a 20th-century glazed fixed pane window is set into the weatherboarded gable. The barn's roof consists of five bays supported by A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars.
The roofs of the linhays are lower than that of the barn and are also hipped at the front end. Both linhays are open-fronted, each with three bays, following Alcock's Type T 1 design, featuring posts of large scantling resting on granite pads and A-frame roof trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. The ends of each linhay are now clad with corrugated iron, though they were originally open. The rear cob walls extend only a short distance along the front, with their straight ends being original. This arrangement of barn and linhays is unusual, and aside from the later cladding, it remains virtually complete.
