Abstract:		 The barn to the west of the farm is listed at grade II and lies at right-angles to the road between two modern houses known as 'Hector's House' and 'Hensyl House'. It is a timber-framed and weatherboarded structure of five bays with a central porch of two bays to the west and double-hung principal doors to the east. Originally thatched it is now covered with corrugated asbestos. Although mistakenly dated in the Schedule to circa 1700 it is typical of many 'Napoleonic' barns of the early-19th century, rebuilt to exploit the high price of grain caused by restrictions on imports. Despite its relatively late origin, the building remains worthy of listing due to its unusually well preserved timber frame, with a complete series of ten arch-braces to its tie-beams (including the open truss of the porch) and an intact roof of staggered butt-purlins. The external weatherboarding is also of considerable historic significance, retaining large areas of original red ochre pigment within a series of later sheds. Many Suffolk barns were painted red in this manner before the advent of tar as a cheap by-product of town gas production during the second half of the 19th century. The barn also retains an original threshing floor of gault brick and evidence of a stable and hay loft at its southern end.
