2014: A Historic Building Record was carried out on the barn to inform a planning application for conversion. The barn is later than the farmhouse dating to the mid 17th century, likely built when the farmhouse was altered and extended. The principal barn is an oak framed three bay barn on a red brick plinth, with a hay loft over the eastern bay. The exterior is clad in weatherboarding with a small area of brick infill between the studwork below the hay loft floor. There is evidence that there may have been wattle and daub infill pancels but no remnats remain. The original roof has been replaced with salvaged oak and new sawn softwood timber rafters and a pantile finish. The roof was likely to have been thatched. The western lean-to, timber framed with a pantile roof, and the southern brick and raftered extensiosn are 19th century aditions. The western bay of the barn forms the threshing area with full height doors that are 20th century replacements. The lack of a major entrance suggests that the barn was originally larger (S2).
