Description
This is a barn, dating from the later 17th century. It is located near West Fishleigh Farm in Hatherleigh. The barn is constructed of plastered rubble and cob walls, with a hipped thatched roof. It has a long, rectangular plan, incorporating a threshing barn on the right and a smaller shippon, or animal shed, at the left end, with a loft above.
The exterior is a single storey, except at the left-hand end which has a loft. The front elevation is long and asymmetrical, featuring a cart entrance to the right of centre, and two smaller doorways to the left. A loading hatch is situated above the left-hand end. A small lean-to is present centrally.
The interior retains original roof trusses consisting of straight principals with trenched purlins and collars set into the trusses.
