Barn. Mid C16. Early C18 leanto and later outshut. Timberframed barn clad in weatherboarding but with C18 brickwork to leanto and outshut. Tiled roof with half-hip to north and catslide to south. Three bay barn with central wagon entrance flanked on either side by open storage bay, that to the south being shorter. Frame of heavy scantling has midrail and curved braces to wall frame, jowled upright posts with curved windbraces and roof of side purlin and windbrace construction with principal rafters reduced above purlin level and an intermediate collar and queen studs. Roof is framed in four bays. In the early C18 a southern leanto was added, later extended along the southern end of the eastern wall. A full-height flint-walled open storage bay was added to the north later but this was virtually rebuilt in brick after Second World War damage.
