Full description

Waterhouse, R., 2007, Torhill Farm, Manaton, 11 (Report - Assessment). SDV347829.

During the mid 19th century when a great deal of money was spent at Torhill, a two-storey bank barn and shippon was constructed on this site. Soon afterwards a wing to the east of this was built with a shippon on the ground floor and hayloft above. An open-fronted cart shed was added on the northern side of this building and a horse engine house was constructed on the western side of the bank barn. (See report for full details.)
