Grade II listed

A four-bay barn probably built in the late 18^th century of finely coursed rubble and lime mortar. The walls of the barn have tall, thin vertical ventilation slots that narrow from the inside.

Each bay of the barn has 8 ventilation slots, 2 lower and two upper for the north and south walls. Some of these are in-filled. The west gable end has 6 even spaced ventilation slots that are open. Above the slots is a square in-filled window. The east gable has one slot open and possibly 5 in-filled slots. However, construction breaks for theses slots are difficult to locate.

All the ventilation slots have wooden lintels of re-used timbers. Re-used timbers have also been used to tie the roof purlins into the east and west gable walls.

The west and east trusses either side of the Threshing bay. Ventilation slots can be seen in the background, one open and one closed.

East-west brick walls have been inserted either side of the threshing bay (second from the east) with a cross beams on top. The cross beams are just above ground level (approx 1m) and support central posts and  symmetrically placed curved braces that run to the tie-beam. The tie beams carry queen struts. The threshing floor is stone flagged and slightly raised from the concrete yard surface. The flag floor, at the north and south sides, are edged with stone.

The north door to the Threshing bay and the brick lean-to.  The Dutch barn is visible through the open doors.

The north door of the threshing bay is wooden and consists of one full height door  and one divided into an upper and lower half to allow draught adjustment when flailing. Both doors are approx. 0.45m above the floor, allowing room for a planked ‘lift’. This would have kept the crop in place when threshing.

A stone lean-to has been added to the north wall of the barn and a later 19^th century brick lean-to stable on the south. Both buildings have led to the blocking of ventilation slots on the north and south walls of the barn.
