Description

Large brick built barn probably of early to mid 18th century date, with decorative brickwork panels to both side walls, brick piers supporting the main roof timbers and a hayloft in the roof space above the projecting cart entry. The walls are doble-skinned, with the external brickwork on the side walls in Flemish Bond and the gables in English Bond (B1).
A remarkable farm building probably dating from around 1800: its mixture of English bond inside and Flemish bond outside, and the big panels of openwork brick to the upper portion is extraordinary. It is a four-bay barn with the full-height front porch to left of centre. The rear cart entrance has no porch. The barn has a single storey range extension, probably of mid 19th century date (B2).
