Description
The building is a mid-19th century barn with associated walls, located in Cheddon Fitzpaine. The barn features an outshot added between 1904 and 1909, with alterations made to the east front in the late 20th century. Early 20th century work was carried out by Edwin Lutyens. The structure is constructed from local slate ragstone in random rubble, with coursed stone on the outshot and walls, which have flat stone coping, and a pantiled roof.
The north wall includes a gateway that links to the Dutch garden and features a depressed segmental headed opening approximately 7 meters high, with a cambered wooden lintel and studded double doors. The outshot has a catslide roof with ventilation slits facing the garden. Other elevations have been significantly altered but are not visible from the gardens of Hestercombe House. The coeval southern wall has a semi-circular headed doorway with voussoirs and a wooden lattice work headed door, similar to those found in the Dutch garden. This barn forms the southeastern boundary of the gardens, but it is part of Hestercombe Farmhouse, which is not included in the listing.
