Listed Building: STABLE OUTBUILDING, 20 METRES WEST OF BARLEY HOUSE FARMHOUSE (279769)

WINSTON THORPE LANE, ASHFIELD TM 26 SW 2/149 Stable outbuilding, 20m west of Barley House Farmhouse GV II Outbuilding, c.1600. Probably built as a pair of stables with lofts above. 4 bays. Timber-framed and weatherboarded (originally plastered with wattle-and- daub infill). Corrugated iron roof, once thatched. Unmmoulded framing: arch- windbraced studwork, windbraced clasped-purlin roof. A pair of blocked opposing doorways at the northern 2-bay stable (both stables are now united); the loft above has evidence for only one small diamond-mullioned window, suggesting a purely storage use. The second loft had 3 windows, and perhaps was a horseman's lodging. A large opening in the south wall, with adjacent evidence for a shuttered original window. The 1st floor has been virtually removed. Listing NGR: TM1999161876
