Barn (formerly old kitchen) approximately 60 metres to north-north-west of The Garden House.
Circa early C16. Stone rubble walls. Gable ended thatched roof, hipped over stair projection. This building was the kitchen to a larger complex, mostly demolished, which documentary evidence suggests was the former vicarage. It consisted of a large room on the ground floor with a massive fireplace at the gable end and a newel stair on the front wall in a projection leading to the room above. The slit windows at the gable end suggest that the building may have been converted to a barn.
