Barn And Linhays Approximately 10 Metres North-West Of Easterbrook Farmhouse

BOW SX 79 NW 4/4 - Barn and linhays approximately 10 metres north-west of Easterbrook Farmhouse

GV II

Barn and adjoining linhays. Probably C18. Cob on rubble footings with small amount of secondary brick patching; corrugated iron roof (formerly thatch). Barn facing north-east with full height large double doors in centre of long walls onto threshing floor. 2 contemporary linhays adjoin at right angles to the front facing each other and line the approach to the barn entrance. Barn roof is hipped to right and gable-ended to left where a C20 glazed fixed pane window occupies weatherboarded gable end. 5-bay roof of A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. The linhay roofs are lower than that of barn and both are hipped at front end. Both are open-fronted, 3 bays, Alcock's Type T 1 with 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 but were originally open. The rear cob walls return only a short distance along front and their straight ends are original. This is an unusual arrangement of barn and linhays, and apart from the later cladding is virtually complete.
