Caedaward barn, a 4-bay structure built with a weather-boarded timber-frame, standing on a level site to the NE. of the house and parallel to a cowhouse on the W. The S. bay of the barn was latterly converted into a stable but collapsed recently and is now destroyed.

The barn has a single storage bay to the N. of the threshing floor and had two to the S., one now being destroyed. The stone flagged threshing floor has large entrance doorways in each side wall and was seperated from the storage bays by a boarded fence attached to the lower sections of the timbers under the tie-beams of the roor trusses; on the central post of the S. truss graffiti includes the initials R.C. and A.C. along with the date 1825 which was probably added after the date of the construction of the building.

The timber-framed walls of the barn have two tiers of framing in tall panels with down-braces from the main posts cutting through the struts of the lower tier. This form of framing is one of the earliest developed for weather- boarding. The roof trusses at each side of the threshing floor have some principal-rafters formed from re-used cruck-blades. Both trusses have raking struts above the tie-beam and a central post along with two long down-braces under; the third truss to the S. has two posts under the tie-beam and braces decending from the wall-posts. The trusses support two upright trenched purlins on each side of the roof, which are jointed over each principal- rafter, and there is a bold upright ridge-plank; the latter probably indicates a date later in the 18th. century for the barn. Cutting through the rafters over each storage bay is a raking wind-brace. The rafter are butt-jointed onto the ridge-plank and bird-mouth jointed into the outer edge of the wall plates. On the upper purlin of the surviving S. bay on the W.side the initials T.W.I. are cut. The present roof is sheet covered.
