Full description

South West Heritage Trust, 1838-1848, Digitised Tithe Maps and Transcribed Apportionments (Cartographic). SDV359954.

The tithe map for Aller Farm (plot 1057) shows there were two buildings here in the early-mid 19th century; one smaller, rectangular structure on a north-east by south-west alignment at the south-eastern edge of the farm and a larger, roughly rectangular building aligned north-south just to the east of the longhouse. Probably retained into the later 19th century, these appear to have been replaced in the late 19th century by the threshing barn, which itself was later converted for residential use (see 2005 survey).

The late 19th century historic map still shows two buildings at this location but they appear to have been altered/extended since the Tithe Map depiction.

Early 20th century shows a new farm building here; a C-shaped range of buildings bordering the south, east and west sides of the yard on the east side of Aller Farm.

Despite the farm buildings to the east of the farmhouse having been separated from the farm property, sold off and converted for residential use, planners at Dartmoor National Park Authority have confirmed (27/01/2020) that the buildings retain their curtilage listing status.
