Takley scored a second within a minute of the restart as a low cross was converted.
Barnston pulled one back as Bailey Jones fired home and the same player then equalised.
Takeley then scored a third after beating the offside trap.
However, Barnston were not finished.
Sam Jones swept home from another Barnston corner to equalise again to make it 3-3 before Kurt Lipman scrambled a Barnston winner.
