Full description

Child, P., 2000, Countryside Stewardship: West Yeo Farm (Correspondence). SDV366743.

The farm complex at West Yeo is a good example of a late 19th century farmyard. It is still traditional in its components but shows elements borrowed from 'model' farm practices developed in the 19th century. The buildings are mostly constructed of local rubble stone the roofs were originally clad with slate.
Attached to the west side of the farmhouse is a composite building. At the front of the ground floor is a stable and trap house. Behind these are two rooms which were used for cider production with the press in the room nearest the drive and the barrels stored in the next room. A low loft over the building was probably for apple storage. The covered area which links this building to the house was used for domestic purposes.
