Description
The Barn at Fenns Old Hall is a timber-framed structure built on a stone and brick sill, primarily covered with modern weatherboards and topped with a steep slate roof. The barn features a central doorway facing the yard that leads to the wagon bay. To the right of this doorway, there is line shafting and belt wheels that were used to power a portable engine for threshing. The main floor and loft have modern boarded openings.
The left gable end includes an inserted doorway and a boarded loft opening, while the right gable end has been rebuilt in brick below the gable and features two progressively lower brick ranges with slate roofs. These ranges have boarded doors, steel-framed windows, and a pigeon hole in the gable end that faces the road. The rear of these additions connects to a 1920s farm block. The back of the barn retains much of the earlier weatherboarding on the brick plinth, although the right side has been partly rebuilt in brick and includes an inserted window.
Inside, the original box-framed structure is largely intact, except for a section of the rear wall. The barn has a five-bay roof supported by queen-post and collar trusses, with angle braces connecting to the tie beam and windbraces. Some cross beams from a former loft have also been preserved.
