Description

Yarty Farm House, including the former bakehouse immediately to the southwest, is a large house dating from the early 17th century. A house on this site was rebuilt in 1626 by Nicholas Fry, who was the Sheriff of Devon. The structure appears to have been reduced and partly rebuilt in the 18th and 19th centuries. It is constructed of stone rubble with a moulded plinth and features two parallel ranges topped with pantile roofs that have gabled ends. The building has two storeys and attics.

On the south garden front, there is a four-window range with two and three-light casements that have glazing bars set in cambered arch openings. The west gable end includes a reused moulded stone four-centred arch doorway. Rebuilt brick ridge chimney stacks are present. To the west, there is an adjoining two-storey wing with five windows, which was formerly farm buildings but has now been incorporated into the house at a lower level.

The former bakehouse to the southwest dates from the 18th century and is made of stone rubble, featuring a hipped and gable-ended pantile roof with a brick chimney stack and a cambered arch door frame. Inside the bakehouse, there is a large open fireplace with ovens. Nicholas Fry's monument can be found in the Parish Church of St John the Baptist.
