The main barn (east barn on listings) has the tarred plinth only at the north end of the east wall; the southeast corner is clad in brick. The north wall has V-bracing; the side walls have convex wall bracing sporadically, mostly from the midstrey posts. There is one original blocked door or window at southwest. South wall rebuilt. The windbraces in the roof may not be original.
The southeat barn has remains of wattle and daub. There are straight braces down from the wall posts to the sill including in the porch. The north wall has an infilled cart door. There are three bays; two tiebeams on long straight braces (of which two removed) from posts with moulded bases to the jowls. The roof is probabaly reassembled; the porch roof has birdsmouth collars.
So the east barn is probably late 17th century, the southeast barn could be 18th. To the north is a 19th century cartshed with an M mark on a post. The farmhouse is 20th century.

[1] notes that removal of recent fittings in east barn reveals that the studs are all of a curved outline. This is not unusual in later buildings made from hedge timber.
