Barn at Maindiff Farm

The barn at Maindiff Farm is a Grade II listed structure built from roughly squared red sandstone rubble, featuring some red brick dressings and a Welsh slate roof. It has central opposed doors with a large gabled porch on the outside, which includes diagonally boarded doors, while the yard side has plain double doors. The Victorian end of the barn displays three long vertical slits on either wall, along with an additional slit beyond the doors that are divided in two for the tallet. Any earlier openings in the walling are now blocked. The Victorian gable end features a large elliptically headed window measuring 3 by 4 feet, with a slit vent below, which likely served as a taking-in door to the tallet.

Inside, the barn is very spacious, consisting of nine bays. At one end, there are two principal rafter trusses that are probably from the 18th century, while the other six are machine-sawn Victorian Queen post trusses with iron straps. The structure includes two tiers of staggered purlins and secondary rafters, which are likely all from the late 19th century.
