projecting cattleshed extending at far left. Between these at right are

to be renewed walling. To left of this is earlier walling and above the

double-door-opening extending the full height of the walling and with a
wooden lintel immediately below the wall plate. The right hand gable end

blocked 4-light mullioned casement and to the gable are three bands of
chevron decoration in fired headers. To the road front gable end is a
projecting plinth, walling with a lattice pattern of fired headers
containing diamonds. Blocked opening at ground floor centre. C20 metal
window at ground floor level. Two-light window with chamfered surround to
the gable. The forecourt front is masked by Cl9 lean-to outshuts but
inside these the walling has a projecting plinth and blocked rectangular
breathers.

Interior: 6 bays with 6 subsidiary bays. The major trusses having tie
beams, collar beams and wind bracing, the subsidiary trusses having no tie
beams and no wind bracing, save to the far northern end. Extending from the
north eastern corner of the barn is a spur wall that terminates in a square
gate pier with stepped cap and globe-light finial. The walling has, to its
road side a lattice pattern of fired headers and a cogged band below the
parapet which is of saddle-back shape. This walling continues at the other
side of the gateway as the walls of enclosed garden in Martlesham C.P. and
forms part of the northern wall of the western garden.
