Description
This barn, located north-east of the Old Farmhouse, dates back to 1707 and is a notable example of a Cotswold barn. It is constructed from squared and dressed rubble, featuring alternating courses of white and golden stone, and has a chamfered plinth. The south-east gable includes openings for pigeon holes. The south-west front has a two-storey section on the right, which contains two-light mullion windows with drips on either side of an altered doorway; above this doorway is a possibly inserted datestone. To the left is a loading door.
An extension to the barn is located to the left, which has a door positioned to the right of centre and previously included draught doors that have since been removed. There are also pigeon holes in the eaves to the left. The roof was only felted at the time of the resurvey and features coped verges with saddlestones. The interior includes queen post struts, two rows of purlins, and rafters and ridge that have been replaced. Ventilation slits are present at the rear.
At the time of the resurvey, the barn was under restoration, with most of the north-east wall removed. This barn is an interesting example of Cotswold architecture, showing signs of past domestic use.
