Full description
Child, P., 2003, Historic Farm Buildings Group: Annual Conference Devon 19-21 September 2003, 18; Plan (Report - non-specific). SDV351745.
The north side of the yard is contained by two attached cob barns, the lower (east) having been built onto the end of the upper (west) which probably pre-existed the creation of the yard, but was integrated into the new layout and reroofed at that time. Both barns are typical for Devon in their general lack of openings apart from the opposed threshing doors. The upper barn has a horse engine house attached to its back which is in a dangerous state of disrepair and is currently the subject of an application for demolition. Both barns are full of grain drying machinery but the lower barn is accessible.
