Summary
Barn, later C18 of red brick with some red sandstone dressings and stone slate roof covering.
Reasons for Designation
This barn of C18 date is listed at Grade II for the following principal reasons:
* Rarity: as a barn considered to date from the C18, it sits firmly in the period when there is a presumption that buildings that are generally intact are listed.
* Significant original fabric: an historic pegged five-trussed roof structure and the survival of almost all original wall fabric, pierced by original door openings and ventilation slits, means that the original form of this barn is clearly illustrated.
* Group value: the barn benefits from a spatial and functional group value with the Grade II listed Eden Croft House.
History
This barn is considered to be contemporary with the adjacent Grade II listed house (Eden Croft) which was constructed in the later C18. The barn is present on the first edition Ordnance Survey map published in 1887, and in 1901 its footprint is unchanged. By the time of the third edition map in 1925 the area to the north east of the projecting central bay had been infilled.
