Old barn at Ewhurst

To be found a short distance to the east of Ewhurst church. Rather oddly, it stands in the grounds of the Old Rectory (now a care home), with no other farm buildings nearby. Much of the surrounding area is now residential - 20th century development, for the most part. I'd guess that (with such huge doors) this was once a threshing barn. The framing seems very regular and symmetrical - apparently all of one build. I was going to suggest a Victorian date, but have since found a listing: http://www.britishlistedbuildings.co.uk/en-291858-barn-in-the-grounds-of-the-old-rectory-e#.Vv3FPyghzo4 My guess would be that most of what can be seen externally dates from the 20th-century restoration.
