GV II

Barn. Probably mid-late C18. Flemish bond brickwork, tiled roof. Five-bay building, unlofted. Facade facing house: double boarded doors to left of centre, timber door posts, cambered timber head set just below wallplate: small access door in left main door. Plain brick plinth: one bay to left, 3 slit air vents below, 2 rows of 2 above. To right, timber-framed lean-to not of special interest. Barn wall 3 rows of 6 slit air vents, centre set half spacing to right: at right end boarded door with cambered brick arch, further slit beyond. Above door square opening with patterned brick grill, cambered brick arch over, and small cross- shaped vent. Left return brick, diamond-shaped owl-hole in apex: plain bargeboards. Interior: stone-paved threshing floor; 3 bays brick paved to right. Rear wall wide, low doorway to threshing floor, drop to ground beyond: slit air vents run through full length of wall. Trusses tie-beam, collar, angle struts; 2 pairs butt purlins, plank ridge. Barn probably originally larger to left, gable vertical joints to side walls on inside only. No evidence of different use for right-hand bay internally, to account for changed treatment of wall facing house.
