Barn 20 Metres North West of Avington Farm Cottages

This is a 16th-century barn located 20 meters northwest of Avington Farm Cottages. It features a timber-frame structure with weatherboarded ends and brick side walls, topped by an old plain tile roof. The barn has five bays and includes a hip bay added to one end in the 18th century. Each side of the central bay has a hipped projecting porch, with the front porch rebuilt on a brick wall, now featuring a small door instead of the original double doors. There are double doors at both ends of the barn. The roof is half-hipped on the left side and slightly so on the right. Inside, the barn has a queen strut roof with short struts supporting the lower purlin, which is braced upwards to the rafter and collar at the higher purlin level. Curved struts connect the posts to the aisle plate and tie, while an aisle tie runs from the posts to the top of the wall, with a strut supporting the lower roof purlin. Some medieval-style ridge tiles with combs are present.
