Barn Approximately 5 Metres To West Of Hoyles Farmhouse

This is a barn located approximately 5 metres to the west of Hoyles Farmhouse, likely dating from the 17th century. It features a cruck frame constructed from coursed gritstone rubble and has a 20th-century tiled roof. The barn is single storey with a loft and consists of 3½ bays, with a single aisle that is interrupted by a cart entrance positioned to the right of the centre. There are large boarded cart doors beneath the wall plate. To the right, there is a plain wall with an aisled outshut that includes a half-hung cowhouse door in its left return. The aisled outshut on the left has cowhouse doors with quoined reveals. At the rear, there is an opposed cart entrance that has been blocked, along with three triangular vents to the left. Inside, there are four massive and well-finished cruck pairs set on padstones, wall-plate tie beams, windbraces to the single purlins, and an additional purlin in the aisle. The collars are located beneath a diagonal-set ridge, except for the right end truss which features a crossed apex.
