Description
A range of farm buildings dating to approximately 1850-60, situated around a courtyard approximately 10 metres west of Neopardy Farmhouse. The buildings are largely of rubble construction with brick dressings, though the south front is of brick with Beer stone dressings, mirroring the style of Neopardy Farmhouse. The roofs are slate-covered.
The courtyard is enclosed by four ranges of buildings, including a cider house, apple store, granaries, stores, barn, shippon (cattle shelter), linhays (covered stalls), stables, haylofts, and stalls. The south-facing front is a symmetrical four-window design with Beer stone dressings, featuring chamfered Beer stone quoins and unglazed windows with Beer stone architraves, flat heads and keystones. A hipped roof covers this range. The north-facing (courtyard) front is constructed of rubble with brick dressings, as with the remaining buildings. Originally, granite steps provided access to first-floor doors at each end and ground-floor doors between. A 20th-century window now replaces one of the original openings.
The left-hand section of the south range incorporates a cider house with a partially-floored apple store and remnants of an apple press, and granaries with three first-floor compartments. The west wing contains a large barn above a basement shippon, and has a higher profile than the other buildings. The shippon features a front arcade of five brick segmental arches. Within the barn, remnants of an iron hoist remain above a large central door, with a smaller loading door to the right. A stone staircase rises from the courtyard along the right side of the barn. A shippon within the west wing has pine troughs and a feeding corridor to the rear, while the barn retains parts of a roundhouse.
The north wing comprises two three-bay Alcock's Type T1 linhays, a full-height through-way with rubble walls, two similar two-bay linhays, and stables at the right end with a central door and a hayloft loading door, flanked by slatted windows with a narrow band of glazing at the top. Similar stables adjoin the east wing, which terminates in stalls with an open-fronted hayloft above. A wide space is located to the south of the south wing. All roofs feature king post trusses. The farmyard is a complete and well-preserved example of the period.
