Description
The Tythe Barn is a long, low barn constructed from thin coursed sandstone rubble and features partly timber cruck construction. It has a natural slate roof. The north end of the barn has 19th-century embellishments, including a gable with bargeboard on the west side, but this section does not extend south from the through carriageway. The entrance is on the east side, facing the yard, and includes four doors and eight modern casement windows of various types. The north end wall has been rebuilt and contains two brick relieving arches for doorways that have been blocked. There is also a blocked cart entrance at No. 2 and two slit vents on the east elevation.
The elevation facing the road consists of the gardens of the houses, where the walling has been altered with various modern doors and windows, along with additional slit vents.
The interior details are not available from the recent survey, but it is noted to be partly of cruck construction with upper crucks. The barn is part of a group of four buildings, Nos. 1-4 The Tythe Barn, located on Chapel Lane.
