Description
The barn and attached cattle shed located to the southeast of Red House Farmhouse is an 18th-century structure made of rubble and brick, now topped with a corrugated sheet roof. It is a long, narrow, and relatively low building oriented on a northeast/southwest axis. The barn features eight structural bays, with a full-height wagon doorway in the center, a very narrow slit-breather in the second bay lined with red brick, and a two-light window along with a blocked doorway in the first bay, both supported by an old oak lintel. To the right of the wagon entrance, there is a later attached cattle shed built at right angles to the barn. The northeast gable wall has brick dressings at the corners, and the upper part of the gable, made of handmade brown brick, includes a small loading doorway leading to the loft. The rear wall has a bricked-up wagon entrance that faces the front entrance. The cattle shed is open-fronted, consists of four bays with square piers, and has a pitched slate roof.
Inside, the barn has simple principal-rafter roof trusses with trenched purlins. Near the southwest end of the barn stands a massive oak apple press, which appears to date from the 18th century and may still be in its original position.
