This is a barn located at Thorne Barton Farm, on the west side of the farmyard, dated 1743. The barn features a timber frame set on a brick plinth, with weatherboard and brick cladding, and a plain tile roof. It consists of five bays and has central opposing cart entries. The front entry has a gabled midstray with brick infill on the returns, flanked by added brick outskirts in Flemish bond, which include stable doors and stepped dentilled eaves. The left side has orangey brick in an irregular bond, with early 20th-century garage doors and a loading door on the gable. Inside, there are jewelled wall posts with arch braces (some of which have been removed) supporting tie-beams, wide wall framing panels with straight braces, queen strut roof trusses, clasped purloins with intermediate collars, old rafters, and a later plank ridge. The truss to the right of the cart entry has a tie-beam dated "WHW 1855". The attached farm buildings at the front and back are not included in the listing.
