Description

Farm buildings and a pigeoncote at College Farm date from the early and mid-18th century and the early and mid-19th century. The buildings are constructed of brick, coursed rubble, concrete block, and mud, with gabled and hipped pantile roofs, some of which are steeply pitched. A partial rubble plinth is present, along with herringbone bands. There are cogged, dentillated, and corbelled eaves. The barn, located to the north-east, was built in the mid-19th century. It is three bays wide and has a pair of central barn doors on each side. The west gable includes a close-boarded door above the barn doors. This barn has a principal rafter softwood roof with wind braces. To the right of the barn is a single-bay cowshed. The south-east range begins with a mid-19th century, five-bay cowshed, featuring timber posts. To the right of the cowshed is a late-19th century stable with two stable doors and two slatted casements. Adjacent to this is a higher stable, also late-19th century, with a slatted casement, a stable door, and a doorway with steps. To the right again is a two-story stable and pigeoncote. One side features a stable door, flanked by single casements, all with segmental heads. The pigeoncote has a door flanked by a slatted casement to the left and a metal casement to the right, with an unglazed opening in the north gable. Another two-story stable from the early-19th century features a door with a segmental head, flanked by single breathers, and a small casement flanked by single stable doors, all with segmental heads. A small square opening is positioned above. The return angle includes a stable door. A stable at the south-west end has a square hatch on its street-facing side. The gable to its right has a slatted casement on each floor and the gable to the west has a square hatch above. The pigeoncote has two mud walls with integral nest boxes and a principal rafter roof.
