Description

This is a 17th-century brick tithe barn, extended and altered later. It has a cruciform plan, created by projecting central bays. The roof has a medium-steep slate covering with oversailing eaves, and a central brick stack added later. The south gable features early 19th-century Gothick shaped stone kneelers, copings, and a diagonally-set finial corbelled out. A large two-light Gothick window with simple intersecting tracery and cusped heads is present, with 10 panes of glass and thin glazing bars below the springing level. A narrow slit-window sits above, both framed by plain architraves. The north end has a large eight-light mullioned and transomed window with plain glazing. The west elevation contains three early 19th-century stone cross-windows, relating to paired bays, and two tiers of blocked ventilation slits are visible.

A later door, with a rusticated stucco surround, sits on the right side of the porch. On the east face, are two- and four-light mullioned windows, running along with a dentilated brick string course. The central, advanced section features a label over a contemporary depressed-arched entrance, now partially hidden by an attached early 19th-century brick gabled porch. The porch has moulded eaves cornices, a lead ball finial, a recessed, depressed-arched entrance with a continuous label, and a stone plaque inscribed "Tithe Barn." It is accessed via three steps and a pair of 20th-century double doors, flanked by plain brick pilasters. A modern, single-storey, flat-roofed extension adjoins the barn to the south.

Attached to the barn, to the right of the porch, is a two-storey domestic extension dating from the second quarter of the 19th century. It has a slate roof with a modern skylight, a central recessed doorway with a vertically-planked door and a four-light rectangular fan. A late 19th-century slated canopy is supported by wooden brackets. A six-pane casement window sits above the door, and flanking windows are two 16-pane recessed sash windows with flat-arched heads and stone sills. A first-floor external entrance is on the east gable end, with stone steps and iron railings.

Inside, the barn has open trusses with rough chamfering and trenched purlins, most of which are now boxed-in. A brick partition wall between bays two and three (from the south) appears to replace a contemporary division.
