Map

Two barns. One timber framed on brick plinth, some wattle and daub, otherwise weatherboarded. Expanded wallposts support ties by arched braces. King and queenpost roof is not original; may have been queenpost originally. Dated as 17th century but description mentions V-bracing which is normally an 18th century feature. Second, which has been truncated, has S-bracing to ties which retain mortises of queenposts; dated as 17th century.
Riding horse stable and gig house, conversion from earlier timber framed building with expanded wallposts and mortises for mullioned windows in wallplates, suggesting originally a house.
Workhorse stable, timber framed 18th century.
