BRENCHLEY 6/59 THE CROOK

Converted barn about 40m north of Wat Tyler's Cottage

GV II

House, converted from barn in 1988. Barn probably early C16 or earlier. Framed construction on a brick plinth clad in weatherboarding; peg-tile roof.

Plan: 6-bay roadside barn, facing south. Opposed doorways in the 2nd bay from the left (west) are indicated in the conversion, which has a front door in this bay on the south side and a glazed section on the north side lighting the stair which rises in front of the door.

Exterior: Asymmetrical 8-window front, the roof hipped at the left end, half- hipped at the right end. C20 plank door to left of centre flanked by 2 tall windows without glazing bars, 3 similar window above the front door in the entrance bay. Pair of plank garage doors to the extreme right. The remaining windows, 1- and 2-light, are timber casements without glazing bars, matching windows on the rear elevation. No stacks or stove pipes.

Interior: The entrance bay rises to the full height of the barn which is otherwise floored. The wall-framing survives with jowled wall posts. Some timbers were replaced following the complete collapse of the building during the October 1987 hurricane.

Roof: Crown post construction with plain posts, some with 4-way, some with 3- way braces. One tier of curved windbraces of large scantling.

A sympathetic conversion of an impressively large early barn. Group value with the adjacent converted oasthouse (q.v.) and Wat Tyler's Cottage.
