TQ 64 SE BRENCHLEY GEDGES HILL (east side)
6/85 Barn about 40m south west of Maynards
GV II
Barn, originally associated with Maynards (q.v.) but now in separate ownership. Probably C18 with circa 1930s renovations. Framed construction on sandstone footings the infill cement render; peg-tile roof.
Plan: 5-bay south facing barn, sited at right angles to Maynards and end on to the road. Opposed threshing doors in the centre, outshuts to either side of the south porch.
Exterior: The external framing survives to the ground. Limewashed weatherboarding on the south wall, visible in the outshut, indicates that the exterior was originally weatherboarded. The infill to the exposed framing may date from the 1930s when the barn was extensively renovated. Roof half-hipped at ends. Rear doorway blocked. The front (south) elevation has a gabled projecting porch with full-height timber doors flanked by outshuts with catslide roof.
Interior: The wall framing has posts with formed jowls. Tie beam, queen strut and clasped purlin trusses flank the threshing floor. The 2 outer trusses have diagonal braces below a collar.
Group value with Maynards.
