Description

High Barn is a 15th-century barn with an early 17th-century cottage, significantly altered and modernised in the 20th century for Edward Richards-Orpen, resulting in a combination of reset and remodelled elements. The structure is constructed of coursed and squared rubble with a Cotswold stone roof. A projecting gable is situated to the left of centre, featuring a tall chimney, a re-used 14th-century two-light trefoil-headed window, and a Maltese-cross-shaped light. A two-light mullioned window with a cornice is adjacent. A Cotswold dormer is located to the right, with a drip moulding above. Further features include a two-light attic window and a Tudor-arched doorway, accompanied by a small arched light to its left. A two-storey, single-window extension stands to the right, and there's a further 1½-storey extension. The larger section, the former barn, has a three-light window and a two-light mullioned window within the gable. There are two off-ridge ashlar chimneys with moulded capping, and three similar chimneys on the ridge.

Inside the barn section, the roof is partly open, displaying a Queen post, and a gallery rests on four Jacobean Doric (wooden) posts salvaged from Blockley church. A large inglenook is present within the projecting gable.
