Barn

The 24 by 36 foot barn with a second floor loft was a former portable classroom purchased from the City of Peabody, where the current owner taught school for 34 years, and moved in the 1980s. Its exterior walls are covered in weathered cedar shingles and has a fiberglass shingle roof which matches the house roof. The interior vinyl clad sheetrock walls were insulated, but still need cosmetic work. It has a wood floor on metal floor joists. The solid wood ceiling is constructed of 3 by 5 timbers. The second floor loft is now accessed only by a door reached from the outside by a ladder, but there is adequate room to install an interior stairway for future expansion. A small section downstairs is walled off from the front, but as the wall is not a carrying wall, it could be removed to open the interior up to its full size with no obstructions.
