Two Barns Adjacent to North West of Ham Farmhouse

Two barns in an L-plan range, dating from the mid to late 18th century, are located adjacent to the northwest of Ham Farmhouse. They are constructed with a timber frame and weatherboard, featuring flint and brick plinths, and have old tile roofs. The northern barn consists of four bays and includes a gabled projection that was formerly a cart entry in the third bay, along with slatted windows and cart doors in the west gable. The western barn has five bays, with a board door in the central gabled projection, cart doors at the rear opposite, and a 20th-century opening in the left bay. The southern end has two lower brick and flint bays from the 19th to 20th centuries. There is also a 20th-century shelter in the angle with the northern barn. The timbering features rough construction with raking and curved queen post trusses, as well as later slender braces to the ties. These barns are included for their group value.
