Barn Immediately North East Of Norden Farmhouse

The building is a bank barn located immediately northeast of Norden Farmhouse, dating from the 1830s or 1840s. It is constructed from local grey limestone rubble and features a grouted scantle slate roof with gabled ends, one of which has stone coping. The barn has a rectangular plan and is built into a bank at the rear, with shippons and a root store on the ground floor and a barn above that is accessed from the rear where the ground level is higher.

The exterior has two storeys. The south front includes shippon doorways with plank doors and a wider central doorway with a cambered arch, which is partly blocked, on the ground floor. There is also a central door above with a canopy and ventilation slits on both the ground and first floors. At the rear, there is a large central doorway leading to the barn, featuring plank double doors, and a 20th-century open-sided shelter against the rear wall.

Inside, the shippons on the ground floor have large, roughly-hewn, closely-spaced joists, and the root store has been converted into a dairy. The barn above boasts an 8-bay roof with collar trusses, where the collars are halved, lapped, and pegged to the principals. It features two tiers of purlins set on the backs of the principals, with intact common-rafters and a ridgeboard. The underside of the slates is torched.
