Full description
Child, P., 05/10/2001, Countryside Stewardship. Buildings at Bradstone Manor Farm, Milton Abbot (Correspondence). SDV352011.
The group of buildings at Bradstone are considered most suitable for grant aid under Countryside Stewardship. The are not only a representative group of traditional Devon farm buildings, reordered in the second half of the 19th century but with earlier origins, but they are also part of one of the most visually delightful groups in the county. It is also arguable that this group is a survivor of what must once have been a more typical settlement pattern in Devon where the Parish Church is not surrounded by a nucleated village but only has a single farm as a neighbour.

'Bradstone Barton Remains of a Manor House' marked. Comparison between this and the Tithe Map shows the farmstead to have been reordered in the second half of the 19th century. The manor house and the farm buildings to the east have been truncated and new ranges of buildings have been constructed to the north-west.
