Top Barn

Top Barn is a house dating from the 17th century, with alterations from the 18th and 19th centuries. It is timber framed with brick infill, and features a roof that has been raised in brick, along with a brick bay added to the right. There are also 19th-century brick additions at the rear, and the building is topped with old tile roofs. The structure consists of three bays and two storeys, with two canted bay windows and a six-panel door beneath a pentice hood supported by console brackets on the left and flanking the door. To the right, there are two-light leaded casements, while the first floor has triple leaded casements, except for a two-light window above the door. On the left side, there is a large end stack with a projecting stone lower part and a brick flue, and another stack is located between the right-hand bays. Inside, the house features chamfered and stopped spine beams, and the left-hand ground floor fireplace has moulded brick jambs and an oak lintel. The 17th-century roof trusses upstairs are intact, with only the purlins and rafters raised, and the timber-framed rear wall is also intact.
