May 2007. Structural Survey.
Survey of the Barn. Timber frame is largely untouched and appears sound. Some areas of external cladding are missing, leading to ingress of water and vegetation. The roof, clad in corregated sheeting, has several small openings that allow penetration of rainwater, but is generally sound. The masonary plinth is in a poor condition in places. A number ofstructural timbers show signs of rot and insect attack and require replacement or treatment.
