Level 2 survey of barn prior to proposed conversion.
The barn is a traditional oak-framed threshing barn comprising five bays aligned east to west with a central entrance facing south towards the farmhouse. An enclosed yard is shown on the 1822 enclosure map. The roof is steeply pitched but the original thatch has been replaced by corrugated iron. The roof structure consist of an upper tier of clasped-purlins ith a lower tier of staggered butt-purlins secured by through-tenons and a ridge board which is an original feature. The original suggestion in the grade II listing that the barn is 17th century appears to be incorrect and it is likely that the barn dates to around 1800. The barn is a rare for this period as it retains its original roof structures including a full complement of arch-braces to their tie-beams. The 16th century timber frame is secondhand and may have been salvaged from an earlier barn with an integral stable.
