GV II
Farmbuildings of planned C19 farmyard, the buildings may originally have served Court Green as well as Capitol Farm. Erected for the Bishop's Nympton estate, owner William Keates, in 1877 (datestone). Stone rubble with red brick dressings and gable- ended slate roofs. Plan: H plan forming 2 small yards, the south yard opening on to the village green, the north yard behind with access from a farm lane at the west. 2 parallel ranges on a north/south axis, a threshing barn range to the west with a horse engine house projecting into the north yard; a shippon range to the east forming the boundary of the garden of Capitol Farmhouse. Between these ranges and dividing the north and south yards, is an open fronted cartshed facing south with a doorway through it between the 2 yards. Exterior: The threshing barn range to the west has 2 pairs of double threshing doors on the west elevation, the doorways with cheeks, 2 loft doors and a window. On the east elevation (facing into the south yard) a pair of double threshing doors with a slate pent roof and a C20 concrete block addition. Facing into the north yard there is a horse engine house with a canted north end and, to the right, a pair of double doors and a flight of external stone steps up to a loft door with a smaller doorway on the ground floor to the right. An open-fronted cartshed adjoins the threshing barn range at the north end. The shippon range has 3 doorways facing into the south yard and 2 loft doors and a window. Facing the north yard there is a pair of double doors to the right with 2 loft doors. The cartshed range in the centre is open- fronted with 2 bays facing into the south yard and a doorway into the north yard at the right end. A late C19 estate planned farmyard with relatively little alteration. Group value with the farmhouse and in a prominent position facing the village green.
