WINSTON THORPE LANE, ASHFIELD TM 26 SW 2/148 House (formerly an outbuilding) linked with and immediately south- west of Barley House Farmhouse GV II House; probably built for some industrial use such as brewhouse with granary above, in late C16. Major remodelling of early C19 and c.1980. 2 storeys; about 5 bays. Timber-framed; the lower walling almost rebuilt C19 in red brick, the upper storey roughcast. C19 glazed pantiled roof; an axial C19 chimney of red brick. Mid C20 casements; some diamond-mullioned windows restored and glazed. The building is linked to Barley House Farmhouse by a C19 1-storey block of red brick, containing a C20 boarded entrance door. Unmoulded framing exposed internally: arch-windbraced studwork, and heavy unchamfered joists. The building is believed to have been built with the east gable open at the upper floor; goods would have been lifted from a boat from a short arm of the River Deben which flows nearby.
