I learned some distinctions with the names of the different buildings in Germany.
A house on a farm that has a barn attached to it is called a Bauernhaus.
A house on a farm that is separate from the barn is called a Herrenhaus.
The Plattdeutsches word used in Manning for a House and Barn is Hausbarn.

This thatched German home also has moss growing on top.
