OTTERTON FORE STREET (north side), SY 0885 Otterton 7/150 Barn and byre approximately 9 metres north-west of Stantaway 24.7.85 Farmhouse GV II Barn and adjoining byre. C18 with minor late C19 alterations. Exposed red cob on local stone rubble footings, patched here and there with C19 brick; thatch roof. Single block facing north-east into the farmyard. The left (south-eastern) half is a former threshing barn with opposing double doors onto the threshing floor. The right (north-western) half is a cow byre with hayloft over (possibly built as stables). Another very small byre has been added onto the right end. The barn has full height double doors flanked by short projecting midstrey walls. The plank doors are C19 and 1 is split into flaps. This is set near the left end of the front (and left of centre in the barn section) and there is a loading hatch high in the wall to right. The byre has a central front door flanked by unglazed windows and with loading hatch directly above. Again the joinery is late C19. This section of the front is much patched with brick and the original arrangement appears to have been 2 doorways each with a window to right. The roof is hipped each end and on the right end the roof is carried down over the secondary byre which is set back from the front. Interior. The 2 halves are separated by a cob crosswall up to eaves level with boarded timber framing up to the apex. The byre hayloft is carried on probably C19 replacement unchamfered crossbeams. The barn is open to the roof. The roof is continuous over both sections and is original. It is 6 bays (3 each) and made up of A-frame trusses with spiked and pegged lap-jointed collars and X-apexes. This barn and byre is an unusual example of a traditional Devon farmbuilding which is still thatched. Furthermore it forms part of a group with the other farmbuildings which make up the farmyard behind Stantaway Farmhouse (q.v.) and also contribute to the charming group of listed buildings along Otterton Fore Street.
