Barn And Cart Shed Approximately 11 Metres South East Of Rashleigh Barton

This building is a barn and cart shed located approximately 11 metres south-east of Rashleigh Barton. It is likely from the early 17th century and was remodeled in the 19th century. The 17th-century sections are constructed of cob on rubble footings, while the 19th-century work is made of local stone rubble, with some of it facing the original cob. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos, which probably replaced an original thatch.

The structure has a gable-ended range facing the farmyard to the west. The cart shed is on the left (north) side and is open to the rear, featuring a large full-height carriageway at its right end next to the barn. The barn, on the right (south), was originally a cider house with an apple loft. Its front is irregular, with the left end of the barn projecting forward and having an additional full-height doorway. To the right of this projection is an unglazed 19th-century timber window. On the right end, external stone steps lead to the former apple loft. The rear of the cart shed is open-fronted, supported by two circular-section full-height stone rubble piers.

Inside, the cart shed has an open 3-bay roof, which likely features 17th-century side-pegged jointed crucks. This roof was significantly altered in the 19th century, with the original cruck posts cut off and replaced by the current stone piers. The collars and purlins were also replaced. The barn, which was the former cider house, has a part-floored interior. The apple loft is supported by a series of large, roughly finished crossbeams and includes the original framed and cob-nogged partition. The 3-bay roof is supported by what are likely 17th-century side-pegged jointed cruck collars, with some replacement collars.
