SX86SE BLAGDON ROAD, Blagdon 1947-1/2/162 (North East side) 10/01/75 NE and NW ranges of buildings to the higher yard at Middle Blagdon Farmhouse (Formerly Listed as: BLAGDON ROAD Barn and outbuildings to NE of Blagdon House)

GV II

2 ranges of farmbuildings to the higher farmyard at Middle Blagdon Farm. c1870s, the barn with earlier origins and part of a planned double courtyard split-level farmyard. MATERIALS: Local stone rubble with brick dressings and turnerised slate roof. Barn partly cob. PLAN: The higher yard is divided from the lower by a farm lane. The NE range of the higher yard backs on to the lane and consists of cart-horse stables in the centre, facing into the higher yard with a probable donkey engine house to the rear towards the N, projecting into the farm lane. At the NW end, fronting the lane, a small heated building may have been a smithy or house for cooking fodder. Adjoining it, to the N, further stabling fronts the lane. The NW range consists of an earlier threshing barn, to which a stone porch has been added, facing into the yard, with pigsties or fowl-houses on the front. A block at the N end may have been a grain store. EXTERIOR: NE stable range has a central doorway through from the yard with steps down to the lane dividing the yards. On the yard side there is a stable door at the left end, a pair of slatted doors to the centre and 4 ground-floor top-hung small-pane stable windows. The rear elevation (facing onto the lane) has a central doorway with sliding doors. To the N a segmental-headed doorway and, at the north end of the stable range, what appears to be a donkey engine house with a canted end to the lane. To the south a shallow lean-to has a central door flanked by round-headed windows with brick arches. 2 loft doors and 2 loft windows. Adjoining at the right end, but outside the yard, a small heated block with a ground-floor window onto the lane and beyond it, a stable with 4 doors. The NW range has a cob threshing barn with a later, probably 1870s, projecting gabled stone porch with a pair of slatted doors. Lean-to pigsties or fowl-houses to left and right of the porch have single doorways on the front. A connecting block to the left with window and wide opening alongside connect this range to the carthorse range. INTERIOR: Only partially inspected. The carthorse range retains stall partitions and iron mangers. Other fittings of interest likely to survive. Part of a large planned farmyard, still in agricultural use and a rare survival of a split-level Victorian farmyard in Devon.
