Full Description

The following text is from the original listed building designation:
TR 04 SE BROOK THE STREET (east side)
4/60 Barn with sheds about 50 metres west of Court Lodge
GV I
Barn, now used as museum. Mid to late C14. Timber framed on red brick and ragstone base and clad with weatherboarding. Plain tiled and hipped roof. Roadside (present entrance front) with boarded doors to right and mullioned C20 windows. Eastern (yard) elevation with 2 hipped midstreys, somewhat later additions and boarded door to south end. Interior: 6 bays with aisles and terminal outshots, total dimensions 117 x 31 feet. The 2 entrance bays are slightly narrower (with wooden threshing floors). Passing shores, crown roof braced down to tie beams and up to collar purlin. The quality of the timberwork and its unaltered internal state renders this one of the finest medieval Kentish barns. Cowsheds attached to northern end, L-shaped open arcaded timber structure, with vertical plank boarding and.tiled roof. (See S.E. Rigold, Some Major Kentish Timber Barns).
