TALATON TALATON Courtyard of Farm buildings adjoining to west of Harris's Farmhouse

GII Courtyard of farmbuildings.Late C17 origins,much rebuilt in the C19.Plastered cob on stone rubble footings,rebuilt in red brick;slate roof.There is a courtyard of farmbuildings adjoining the west end of Talaton farmhouse(q.v).The three ranges faces into the courtyard but no inspection was available at the time of this survey.The rear(south-facing)wall of the southern range was all that could be seen.It appears to contain a couple of byres or stables;two doors,one each side of a pair of windows and a single first floor window which may once have been a hayloft loading hatch.At the right end the roof is carried over a full height carriageway between the farmbuildings and farmhouse.The roof is hipped to left as it returns to the west range.These farmbuildings form part of a very good group of listed buildings in the vicinity of the Church of St James(q.v).
