Linhay and stables. Maybe Cl7 origins, refurbished and partly rebuilt in the late C18 - early C19. Stone rubble; slate roof. Plan: an L-plan building. The main block is on a rough east-west axis facing south onto the farmyard. It is adjoining but set slightly forward from the cider house (q.v) to right (east) and contains a calf house with hayloft over to right and 5-bay linhay to left. At the left (west) end the stable block projects forward at right angles. It includes a 2-bay linhay in the return before the stables. There are haylofts above it. Exterior: in the main block the calf house has a doorway with an unglazed C19 2- light window alongside to right. The open-fronted linhay is Alcocks Type T1 with full height posts and the tallet/hayloft crossbeams tusk-tenoned into them. The posts support the outer principals of late C18 - early C19 A-frame trusses. On the return face the linhay section has been partly rebuilt with C20 concrete block posts. The stables contain 2 doorways with hayloft loading hatch over. The roof is gable-ended. Interior: has plain carpentry detail mostly described above. This linhay and stables form part of a good group which includes Uplowman Court Farmhouse (q.v) and the Church of St Peter (q.v.).
