Farmbuilding. 17th century. Local coursed rubble with rendered cob to west roadside elevation and gable ends; weatherboard over timber frame to east elevation; hipped corrugated iron roof. Rectangular plan. East elevation to farmyard has concrete lintels over doorway and flanking windows to former stable on right; weatherboarded walls to former range on left, including loft door.
Interior noted as having 6-bay roof with 4 jointed cruck trusses: rear rafters rest on wall plates and front rafters pegged to wall posts in manner typical of Devon linhays; one truss is side-pegged jointed and the other 3 are rice-pegged slip tenon trusses of less common type.
Unusually for a farmbuilding, one of the wall posts and a pair of floor beams which abut it are ornately carved with scrolled, notch-stopped details to chamfers.
An interesting and early example of a combination type of farmbuilding including a linhay with unusual detail.
Date first listed: 5th January 1994
