Stone Lodge and Threshers Barn, (formerly 'the Barn' 20 metres south-west of East Leigh Farmhouse), is a South Hams bank barn converted into two residential dwellings and dates from the 18th century with 19th and 20th century alterations.
The building is constructed of slate rubble with red brick detailing and a modern slate roof.
The barn is rectangular in plan and is built into the bank at its north-western end. The building is now divided into two dwellings which are accessed via the north-western gable elevation at first floor level and via the south-western elevation at ground floor level.
The building is of two storeys. The majority of the openings are situated within the south-west elevation and consist of five window openings on the first floor and five on the ground floor. All window openings contain modern casement windows. To the south east of this elevation are large openings within the ground and first floor, separated by red brick voussoirs. The north-east elevation faces the courtyard fronting East Leigh Farmhouse and contains three openings with timber plank doors and brick arches. In addition to the three doors a narrow ventilation shaft is situated at first floor level to the south east of the elevation. Internally all of these openings have been filled by concrete blocks.
Only the house to the north-west was inspected (2009) but it is clear the whole building has been subject to alteration since its conversion into two separate residential dwellings. The north-western dwelling is entirely plastered and painted internally but retains a nailed scissor-truss roof.
The barn at East Leigh Farmhouse dates to the 18th century with 19th century alterations. The building was converted into a residential dwelling circa 1996-7. The first edition Ordnance Survey map of 1886 illustrates the site with East Leigh Farmhouse to the north-east and the barn to the south-west. The barn has smaller structures aligned at right angles to the main barn attached to both the north and south façades. The building to the north has been demolished but the structure to the south remains extant.
