Barn About 15 Metres East Of Laployde Barton

This is a threshing barn located about 15 metres east of Laployde Barton, likely built in the 17th century and re-roofed in the early 19th century. The barn is constructed of granite rubble and features a corrugated iron roof that is half-hipped at both ends. It has a large seven-bay structure with opposing doorways at the centre and a central front porch. The barn is single-storey and notable for its impressive large porch with a hipped roof at the front, as well as a lean-to porch at the rear. The left end of the barn has been converted into a garage, with a garage door added. Inside, the inner doorway of the front entrance has chamfered granite jambs and a cambered timber lintel. The current roof trusses are early 19th-century pegged A-frames, but the feet of earlier cruck trusses can still be seen embedded in the walls. The barn has group value with Laployde Barton and the outbuilding to the north.
