Farmhouse, a Dartmoor longhouse, with adjoining stable block. Stable is late C17 or C18.
The stable block is granite stone rubble with massive, roughly- shaped quoins and corrugated iron roof (formerly thatch).
Plan and development: The stables were added in the late C17 or C18 projecting forwards at right angles from the right (eastern) end and slightly overlapping the end.
Exterior: The stable contains a pair of doorways with a small window to left and hayloft loading hatch over the right doorway, all containing plain C19 joinery, on the inner (west facing) side. The roof is gable-ended and the end wall contains a drain hole, dung hatch, and at the top, an owl hole. Inside, the hayloft is carried on roughly- finished crossbeams. The roof is carried on A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars, the truss nearest the house of heavier scantling than the other.
