Full description

Department of Environment, 1988, Talaton, 140 (List of Blds of Arch or Historic Interest). SDV341348.

Linhay or piggery. Mid C19, the south end rebuilt after collapse in 1987. English bond red brick with slate roof. This L-plan linhay or piggery has been adapted for fish tanks and a shop. The main range faces the coach house and stables (q.v.) to the east. It is 11 bays; a 2- tier arcade of round-headed arches, the upper stage serving the tallet or feed loft. A block projects forward from the right end containing first a bay similar to the main range, then the shop has been made by adapting some other kind of agricultural building. Interior has plain carpentry detail. This linhay is part of a good group of outbuildings in the landscaped park near Escot (q.v.).
