II
Former range of farm buildings comprising barn, granary, stables and cart lodge. C17 and C19. Timber-framed, weatherboarded:, roofed mainly with handmade red clay tiles, some machine-made red clay tiles. Three bay barn aligned northeast- southwest. Late C17, with C18/C19 midstrey to northwest. To northeast of it, two bay building of uncertain original purpose, probably a byre with granary above, extended to northeast in C19. Two lean-to garages to southeast of it, not of architectural or historical interest. To southwest of barn, C19 stables and cart lodge. The barn has C20 great doors to southeast and northwest on older hinges, with older winnowing boards at both. Main roof half-hipped at both ends. The tiles were laid c1985, with bought-in ridge tiles.

INTERIOR: hardwood frame jointed and pegged, heavy studs, primary straight bracing, unjowled posts, straight tie-beams with bolted hanging knees replacing earlier arched braces. Clasped purlin roof, rafters pegged at the apices without a ridge-piece. The later midstrey has face-halved and bladed scarfs in the wallplates, and short arched braces above the great doors. The two bay building to northeast of it has heavy arched braces from each main post, and interrupted nailed studding. Plinth of red bricks in English bond, not original. Chamfered axial beam and heavy joists of vertical section jointed to it with soffit tenons with diminished haunches. The partition to northeast does not coincide with the bay posts, so that the next interior is partly C17, partly C19. Roof re-built. Carpenter's assembly marks are gouged with a race knife, which is unusual in the C17, possibly indicating an earlier origin; an unusual symbol like across of Lorraine is gouged in a brace of the southeast wall about 2m above ground, not part of the assembly system.

The stable range to southwest of the barn has an original plinth of stock bricks about one metre high and thin studding and primary straight bracing above. The northeast part comprises stables, the southwest part is a cart lodge.
