2/268 Ploggs Hall Barn, East and
West
GV II
Large barn, now converted to 2 houses. C18 or early C19, converted circa
1980. Timber-framed and clad with weatherboards. Brick footings, reset at
the back. Peg-tile roof.
Plan: Originally a large double barn facing south south east, say south.
Long building with 2 sets of opposing double doorways onto the 2 threshing
floors. Both front doorways have full height porches and their fronts
recessed behind the low front walls of integral outshots (missing on the right
(east) end). Now a garage into the front at the right end and each porch is
the main entrance to one of the 2 houses built inside the barn. Both houses
are 2 storeys and open to the roof in their entrance halls.
Exterior: Both porches have recessed front doorways and C20 glass doors in
glazed screens which are as large as the former double doors. Windows in new
openings around the house are casements with no glazing bars. Disused double
doors to rear. Tall roof is half-hipped both ends and carried down
continuously over the former outshots. Porches have hipped roofs.
Interior: Little of the framed outer walls are exposed. However the builder
claims to have left most of the structural carpentry except for parts in the
back wall. Roof structure exposed in the entrance halls, collared tie-beam
trusses with clasped side purlins and queen struts.
This converted barn forms part of a group with the farmhouse (q.v.) and former
oasthouse (q.v.).
