Description
The courtyard of a farm building, located approximately 30 meters west of Nymet Barton Farmhouse, consists of three ranges surrounding a farm courtyard. Parts of these buildings likely date back to the 17th century but were rebuilt and took on their current form in the mid-19th century. The structures are made of cob on rubble footings, with some areas patched with stone rubble, and feature slate and corrugated iron roofs.
The three adjoining ranges face into the farm courtyard. At the west end, along the road, is a former barn and carriageway. From the right (north) end, another barn and linhay extend at right angles. The rear wall of the south range forms the boundary to the churchyard. The west range includes a full-height carriageway that connects the road to the farm courtyard. Immediately to the left (south) is a rubble-blocked barn door flanked by short projecting midstrey walls, with a pilaster buttress further left. To the right of the carriageway is a full-height door leading to the northern section of the barn, which was apparently created by knocking through the barn. This block mostly has a slate roof that is hipped at both ends, while the other blocks are covered with corrugated iron.
The northern range features a barn adjoining the west range, which has large double doors leading to the threshing floor at the left end, flanked by short projecting midstrey walls, a central high window, and a wide doorway with a loading hatch above at the right end. To the right is an open-fronted six-bay linhay (Alcock's Type T1) with a lower roof than the barn; the posts rest on stone pads and appear older than the roof. The south range is an 18-bay open-fronted linhay (Alcock's Type T1).
