Description
This is a 17th-century brick barn, originally consisting of six bays, with later alterations. The barn has a cruciform plan, created by projecting the central bays. It has a medium-steep slate roof with oversailing eaves and a central brick stack, added later, with moulded brickwork. The south gable features early 19th-century Gothick-style stone kneelers, copings, and a diagonally-set finial that corbels out. A large two-light Gothick window is present, featuring simple intersecting tracery and cusped heads, with thin glazing bars dividing the ten panes of glass below the springing level. A narrow slit-window sits above, with a plain architrave. At the north end, there is a large eight-light, plain-glazed mullioned and transomed window. The west elevation has three early 19th-century stone cross-windows, relating to paired bays, and two tiers of blocked ventilation slits are visible.
A later door, on the right, has a rusticated stucco surround. On the east face, there are two- and four-light mullioned windows, with a dentilated brick string course. In the central, advanced section, this string course forms a label over the contemporary depressed-arched entrance, now partially obscured by an attached early 19th-century brick gabled porch. The porch has moulded eaves cornices and a lead ball finial. A recessed, depressed-arched entrance within the porch has a continuous label and a stone plaque inscribed "Tithe Barn”, leading to 20th-century double doors, approached by three steps, with plain flanking brick pilasters. A modern, single-storey, flat-roofed extension adjoins the south side.
Attached to the right of the porch is a two-storey domestic extension dating to the second quarter of the 19th century. It has a slate roof with a modern skylight. The entrance has a recessed doorway with a contemporary vertically-planked door and a four-light rectangular fan. A late 19th-century slated canopy, supported by wooden brackets, covers the door. Above the door is a near-flush two-light casement window with six panes. Flanking the door are two 16-pane recessed sash windows with flat-arched heads and stone sills. An external first-floor entrance is located on the east gable end, accessed by stone steps and iron railings.
Inside, the roof features 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) seems to have replaced a contemporary division.
