Description
The barn at Cobb's Farm is an early 18th-century structure built of brick, featuring English bond on the interior and Flemish bond on the exterior, topped with a pantile roof. It is partly two storeys high and has stepped diagonal buttresses at the corners, some of which show tumbling. There are two additional buttresses flanking full-height double timber doors located to the left of the center. A third side buttress was removed in 1915. The southern end of the barn is currently used as a byre beneath a hayloft, and there are opposing double doors at the rear. The barn has a hipped roof, and the roof structure was replaced in the late 18th century, featuring tie beams, one tier of taper-tenoned staggered butt purlins, and collars. The farmhouse associated with the barn is not listed.
