Barn. Mid C17. Red brick in Minster bond (a Garden wall bond variant)
with plain tiled roof. South elevation with plinth, hipped 2 storey
midstrey and boarded door with catslide outshot to left, with ventilation
slits along whole elevation (and to return elevations). South
elevation with continuous cat slide outshot and single storey hipped
midstrey and 2 boarded doors. Interior: the building was intended
for multi-purpose use; as a threshing barn with a threshing floor between
the 2 midstreys (the disparity in height because the higher, laden
carts came in one side, and passed out unladen and therefore lower
at the other). The eastern end of the main barn area fitted out as
3 stables with newel stairs to hay loft over. Continuous outshot fitted
out as cow houses, with storage area (with separate boarded door) in
small southern outshot. Attic used also as hay loft and hay cutting
loft, with shute to lower floors. Staggered purlin roof with queen
struts. (See Traditional Kent Buildings, Vol. 5).
