Summary
An C18 agricultural building abutting Sidnall Farm House.
Reasons for Designation
The Barn attached to the east of Sidnall Farmhouse is designated at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Historic interest: it is early in date and retains a significant proportion of its historic fabric, and is a good example of the local vernacular style
* Group value: it has strong group value with the adjacent Grade II listed farm house
History
The barn is likely to date from the early C18. It is shown on the first Ordnance Survey map of 1886. Lean-to extensions have been added to the north and south in the C20, and casement windows have been inserted. The original roof covering has been replaced.
Details
MATERIALS: rough rubble stone and timber framing with a corrugated asbestos roof covering. PLAN: the building is rectangular in plan and is orientated west to east, adjacent to the farm house. EXTERIOR: the building is stone on the ground-floor and has a weather-boarded timber frame to the first floor. The north elevation, facing the farm yard, has various irregular openings to the lower storey, and a taking-in hatch to the far left of the top storey. There is a single-storey, open-fronted lean-to supported by five timber posts. The gable end, to the east, has a small inserted casement to the left on the ground floor. The south elevation has an inserted casement to the right of the ground floor, and a C20 lean-to. INTERIOR: the roof structure is largely complete; it has a tie beam, collar, upright posts and short diagonal braces, and twin purlins.
