Barn, About 80 Metres West Of The Old Grange

This is a barn and stable located about 80 meters west of the Old Grange, dating from the 17th century and altered in the 19th century. It features brick-nogged timber framing on a stone plinth, with some parts renewed in brick. The roof is generally tiled, but part of it is covered with stone slate. The barn is an eight-bay structure with two symmetrical threshing floors, and the end bays are lofted. The framing consists of four square panels high.

On the yard elevation, there is a boarded door to the stable on the left and a 19th-century brick gable built off the wallplate for a transverse roof to the end bay. To the right, there is a double doorway to the threshing floor, three panels high, which originally had separate doorposts against the main posts, but the doors are now missing. Some of the top panels have patterned air vents in the brickwork, and there is some weatherboarding lower down. The second threshing floor doorway on the left is three panels wide instead of four. The end bay on the right has a brick ground floor with a blocked door and a boarded door to the loft above. At the rear, the double doors to the threshing floor are narrower and lower.

Inside, there is a stone-paved threshing floor on the left, with sills on each side supported by curved braces rising to the main wall posts. There are two central vertical posts supporting the tie beam, with the centre sill cut away on the left side only. The trusses consist of two pairs of angle struts, with a collar only on the left of the threshing floor. There are three pairs of butt purlins, and the left half of the building lacks a ridge member. The wind braces on the left cut the rafters, rising from the wallplate to the centre purlin and then reversing back to the ridge, while the right end braces connect to the first and third purlins from the truss. Similar framing is found to the left of the right threshing floor, with two long braces connecting the main posts to the tie beam only. The end bays are walled off, which may indicate an alteration. The building was originally constructed as one structure, and the rafters on the left half may have been renewed in the 18th century, which altered the wind bracing and ridge details. A building set against the left side is not of special interest. This barn forms a group with the nearby house.
