Description

A long dark stained weatherboarded barn with an old tiled roof, converted into dwellings: Barn End and Barn Fields. The windows of the conversion, each consisting of two bays, have white-painted segmental arched mock 18th century sashes, with white painted shutters. To the front of the barns is an old brick and flint wall encompassing well-stocked gardens. The southern part of the barn complex, Glebe Barn, is an earlier conversion which incorporates what may have been stables originally and retains original timber-framing on low brick and flint walls. It was converted into a cottage in the 1920s. There is a large modern dormer on the frontage, and a range of modem windows within the structure. It also has a tiled porch. Continuity with the other barn conversions is ensured by the front garden enclosed by brick and flint walling. A significant building within the conservation area of Fingest (B1).
