Barn With Horse-Engine House Attached Approximately 15 Metres South South-East Of Croyde Farmhouse

This building is a barn with an attached horse-engine house, located approximately 15 meters south-southeast of Croyde Farmhouse. The barn dates from the 17th century, while the horse-engine house is likely from the 19th century. The barn is constructed of rubble with cob in the upper parts and features a half-hipped thatch roof. The horse-engine house is made of rubble and some cob, also with a thatch roof, which has a half-hipped design on the north side and an apsidal end on the south, finished with clay tile skirting. The structure has an L-shaped plan, with the horse-engine house adjoining at right angles to the left rear end of the barn.

The barn includes a high loft opening and a buttress at the right end. There is a two-leaf plank door at the rear, along with a blocked opening at the left end. Above this, there is a three-light unglazed chamfered mullion window. The horse-engine house is open-fronted on the west side, supported by two slightly tapering piers that are partially infilled with rubble. A horizontal beam remains in place, while the main roof trusses have been replaced, although the roofing timbers of the apsidal end are intact.
