Late 18th or early 19th century timber framed barn, Chapel Road (EHER 81079)

A timber framed 'Essex Barn' on the Northern side of the farmyard at Pond Farm, which was probably built at around the same time as the former stable building (EHER 81078).

A timber framed 'Essex Barn' on the Northern side of the farmyard at Pond Farm, formerly Martin's Farm. The barn is of remarkably similar construction to the former stable building to its South (EHER 81078), incorporating primary-bracing in its walls and knee-braces to its trusses; its brick plinth is constructed in bricks of the same type and dimensions, and it also retains historic weatherboarding, fixed with handmade nails. The roof is covered in corrugated iron sheeting and the building has a midstrey projecting to the South with a set of double doors. The similarities indicate both the barn and stables were constructed around the same time, to the East of a pre-existing farmstead, as suggested by historic maps. <1> Although not the focus of the building recording report, <1> contains some detail on the barn and a photo of the South elevation.
