Barn to south west of Brick House Farm

II

Barn. Early C17, possibly c1610 which is the date of Brickhouse Farmhouse. Timberframed, clad in tarred weatherboarding with gabled plaintiled roofs. Central projecting midstrey on south west side with double doors. Later pair of doors in centre of north east wall.
INTERIOR: 5 bays. Unjowled posts, mid height girts and contemporary midstrey. Substantial curved wall bracing, generally of "tension" type, interrupting the studs. Exceptionally the midstrey has a pair of similar "arch-braces" more typical of the area. Straight braces to tiebeams (some missing) and Queenpost roof carrying pairs of joggled purlins. Bays adjoining midstrey have curved raised bracing to purlins as has front of midstrey roof. Of particular note are the end gables which have "interrupted tie-beams" above the conventional tie-beams to frame loading hatches.
HISTORY:The barn is probably contemporary with the farmhouse. Double purlin roofs are rare in this part of Essex but there are a few examples in the south west of the county.
