Former barn, now house. Long, low form with flint walls and a dominant tiled roof.
The building is associated with Court Farm; one of 4 farms originally operating from around The Green.
The building was converted to residential use in the early 20th century, most likely during the late 1920s when Tudor Close (also originally farm buildings to Court Farm) was also converted/developed.
The conversion has been undertaken sympathetically, with a number of windows inserted into the wall, but the prominent roof remains unaltered. Regrettably, a flue has since been inserted through the roof.
ii. A good quality converted farm building, which retains much charm and character.
ii. A reminder of the agricultural origins of the village. The size of the barn provides clues regarding the high status of the farm.
i. Although set behind a mature hedge, the roof forms a prominent feature in the conservation area, which contributes to the character of the area and is atypical due to its scale.
ii. Representative of the agricultural origins of the village.
i. Those parts that are visible from the street (the roof), retain a sense of intactness. It is intact in terms of being an early 20th-century converted farm building.
