The former lean to addition to north was removed at the time of conversion. Aisled barn of 5 bays with jowled posts, queen post roof, mid rail and curved tension braces. Although many of the up right posts have new bases there is an inserted flow and a fireplace made up of reused timbers, the main posts are original to their upper parts and the tie beams, queenposts, purlins and wall plates with tension braces are original. The joists are edge halved scarfs with bridled abutments which (according to Cecil Hewitt) died out c.1650.
