12/68 Farm buildings complex
- approximately 40 metres north-
north-west of Stone Farmhouse
GV II
Complex of farm buildings which are said to comprise saw mill and carpenter's shop,
steam engine house, threshing barn, hay/straw barn and shippon. Dated 1856. Local
stone rubble walls with granite quoins and dressings. Gable-ended corrugated iron
roof.
These buildings were designed as an integral unit. According to the farmer the
left-hand buildings had a saw mill on the ground floor (the pit has since been
filled in) with a carpenter's shop above. Adjoining to its right was the engine
house which housed the steam engine at the rear and an adjoining chimney at the
back. Beyond this was the threshing barn to the far side of which was a hay or
straw barn which had a cattle shelter on the ground floor. To the rear of this was
a row of shippons. The range is situated facing a farmyard at the back of Stone
Farmhous (q.v).
2 storeys apart from the engine house and shippons which are single storey. The
principal front of the buildings face the rear of the farmhouse with their gable
ends of varying height. To the left is the saw mill/carpenters shop which has 2
identical sized large openings, one above the other. To the right is the lower
engine house which has a wide entrance with a narrower doorway to its right. The
adjoining threshing barn has a wide central cart entrance with flanking tall window
openings. Datestone of 1856 above. There is a slightly awkward joint with the
hay/straw barn to its right which has a single large central opening. The farm
buildings continue in a row on to the rear of this barn as shippons.
Interior: Original fittings and machinery have been removed. The buildings form
part of a relatively unaltered C19 estate farm and there are few other steam engine
houses surviving in Devon.
