The Barn House

The Barn House is a house that was formerly a barn, likely built in the 16th or 17th century and remodeled in the early 20th century. The lower parts of the walls are made of large-scale granite rubble, while the upper parts, possibly cob, are covered with roughcast. The roof is thatched and hipped at the right-hand end, featuring a large chimney stack made of rendered 20th-century brick at the center of the ridge. The house has one storey and a two-window front with a doorway in the middle. The windows and door date from the early 20th century, designed to imitate early 19th-century styles, and the windows have leaded panes. There is a slit window in the apex of the left-hand gable, which appears to have an old, thick wooden frame. The interior lacks notable features, as all the roof timbers are from the 20th century. The Barn House is an important part of the thatched 'picture village' of Wreyland and is included for its group value.
