Description
TR 04 SE BROOK PLUMPTON LANE (South Side)
4/52 Barn about 20 metres west (formerly 27.11.57 listed under the parish of Wye) GV
II*
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).
