Old Barn Close, Gate Piers And Railings To South West

Old Barn Close is a building that is said to date from 1698 and stands two and a half storeys tall. It is constructed of coursed rubble with ashlar quoins and features a modern tile roof with two attic gables. The building has five windows, which include modern wooden cross casements and one early 18th-century glazing bar sash in a roll-mould surround on the ground floor. The central entrance has a six-panel door topped with a bracketed pediment. One of the cellar windows features a chamfered stone mullion. The gable returns have irregular windows, including two two-light mullioned casements with drips.

Inside, the ground floor south-east room showcases raised and fielded panelling made of chestnut wood, flanked by fluted pilasters beside a former chimney-piece and a shell-niche display cabinet. There is a rear extension, which may be older, that includes a 19th-century range opening and a bread oven. The staircase, dating from around 1720 to 1740, has two turned balusters per tread, carved tread ends, and a ramped dado. The property is also marked by its ashlar gate piers topped with urns, along with arrowhead rails and dog-rails.
