Description
Historic England Level 2 Historic Building Record was carried out on a redundant farm building, to inform and accompany a planning application (CBC planning application 163114). Alefounders Barn is a timber-framed barn of the late-18th or early-19th century that is understood to have been converted into a house in 1963. The outbuilding belonging to Alefounders Barn is a small three-bay stable (with a tack room on the north) that formerly faced an enclosed yard to the rear of the farmhouse and was attached to the barn by a demolished additional shed. Despite the insertion of vehicle doors and glazed windows in the 20th century it retains much of its historic fabric and character, with a largely intact timber frame clad in heavily tarred weatherboarding and a thatched original roof structure.<1>
