Description

This barn, located approximately eighty metres north of Kirby Hall, dates back to around 1755 and has been altered and re-roofed since its construction. It is built from orange-pink mottled brick in English garden wall bond, sitting on a plinth, and features a sandstone impost band and eaves cornice, along with gauged brick arches. The roof is made of corrugated asbestos.

The barn is two storeys high with a nine-bay front, which is highlighted by full-height recessed blind arches that include an impost band. The centre bay has been enlarged to create a full-height entrance, supported by an inserted steel lintel. Above the impost band, the tympana contain partly-blind lunettes with nine-pane segment-headed centre windows. Open-brickwork panels above alternate bays provide ventilation, and there is a moulded eaves cornice.

The rear of the barn is mostly obscured by a later building, with only alternate bays featuring windows and brick dentilled eaves. The returns are also two storeys high with a loft, displaying three arcaded bays that repeat the design of the front. The front eaves cornice extends across the return walls, forming pedimented gable ends that contain the same lunette windows. The right return originally had a round-arched doorway, which is now blocked. This barn is a remnant of the original Kirby Hall complex, designed by Lord Burlington and Roger Morris.
