GV II

Barn. Probably late C18 in origin, with extensive patching and remodelling. Partly cob on stone rubble footings, partly stone rubble; corrugated-iron roof (formerly thatched). PLAN: Roofed on a NS axis, built down a slope from N to S and adjoining the Yalberton Farmhouse (qv) at right-angles. The western first-floor room of the house is built over the N end of the barn. EXTERIOR: Lofted. The E elevation faces onto the farmyard at what is now the rear (south) of the farmhouse. Long 3-window front with a pair of barn doors in the centre; loft loading door to the right, 12-pane sash (probably originating from the farmhouse) to the left. The left end has more cob and a small doorway and one ground and one loft window, all with timber lintels. The entrance from the lane to the N, under one room of the house, is at loft level inside the barn. INTERIOR: Partially inspected. Pegged collar rafter roof trusses of a late C18 character. Group value with a good vernacular farmhouse.
