Listed Building: CRUCK BARN AT THE BUNGALOW (1218529)

Outbuilding, formerly farm outbuilding. Early C17, with alterations and additions in C19 and C20. Coursed Coal Measures Sandstone beneath a concrete tiled roof,which replaced stone slates. East elevation of 2 storeys and 5 bays, that to the southern end an addition. Plain door and window openings beneath substantial stone lintels. Plain planked doors. West elevation with similar detailing but with an off-centre double doorway with full-height double doors. INTERIOR: the building contains four cruck trusses, three of which are complete, the fourth having had its tie beam removed. The trusses support a single-purlin roof structure, the plain scarf-jointed purlins being notched into the backs of the cruck blades. Two of the trusses retain windbraces, with mortice evidence for braces to those trusses which now lack them. The trusses have collars and yokes, both of which are dovetail-lapped onto the cruck blade faces. The ridge purlin is set edge-on, and is clasped between the cruck blade heads. The trusses appear to have been originally closed, with the southern truss having formerly been the extenal wall of the building, to which the present southern bay was added. Listing NGR: SK3158170975
