GV II

Planned farmyard to Collaton Farmhouse. Late 1840s/early 1850s, with some later alterations. MATERIALS: Local red breccia rubble, one range re-fronted in brick. PLAN: Sited west of and below the farmhouse, on a prominent roadside corner site. Buildings on 3 sides of a yard. The west range, opposite the farmhouse, is a shippon, the north range, backing onto the Totnes Road, is a stable. South range a shippon. EXTERIOR: The west range has been re-fronted in brick on the yard side only. It has 3 ground-floor doorways, alternating with windows, all with segmental heads, and a large opening at the right end with a large loft entrance above. 2 smaller loft doors to the left and centre. The south shippon has 5 segmental-headed shippon doorways with slatted doors and 2 segmental-headed loft doorways and one segmental-headed glazed loft window. The stable block opposite has 2 original stable doors, one with a deep overlight and one segmental-headed window to the right, segmental-headed loft doorway. 2 openings at the left end, a doorway and a loft door have brick architraves and are probably secondary. Lean-to addition at right end has a segmental-headed doorway and a window. The rear elevation of this range has a blocked archway with keystone from the Totnes Road. INTERIOR: The brick-fronted shippon has a scissor-braced king post roof. The south shippon preserves mangers and brick feeding troughs and has a rear feeding passage. The stable range has a paved floor and retains some stall partitions and mangers. A good example of a modestly-scaled planned farmyard set around a cobbled yard, designed for a primarily dairying area.
