Abstract: |
Brick Kiln Farm lies in open countryside in the south-western corner of Sibton parish, and formed a modest tenanted holding of 58 acres in 1840. The site contains an early-17th century farmhouse and a contemporary or near-contemporary barn to which a cattle yard and various associated brick sheds were added in the mid-19th century. The house is listed at grade II, but the timber-framed barn is particularly good example of its type and has been omitted in error from the Schedule of Listed Buildings. Its roof structure of clasped-purlins with a lower tier of butt-purlins survives intact, with an impressive array of wind-braces, and its open trusses and wall framing are also largely complete. The building contained a three-bay barn to the east (towards the house) and a floored bay to the west which operated as a stable. The stable ceiling and partition were removed when a brick extension was added in the 19th century, but the entrance passage remains in use and rare evidence of the original doors and windows survives in the walls. The extension incorporates wasters from an eponymous kiln which lay by the pond to the south of the farmhouse in 1840 |
