Description
This building is a shippon, likely built in the mid to late 19th century, located approximately 10 metres north of West Molland Barton. It is constructed from coursed stone rubble and features a gable-ended Welsh-slate roof. The shippon has a long rectangular plan, facing a farmyard to the south and backing onto a lane to the north.
The exterior includes two boarded loft doors on the north side, each with wooden lintels, and a small ground-floor access hatch to the right, also with a wooden lintel. The right-hand gable end has a ground-floor 18th-century three-light wooden mullioned window on the left and a two-light wooden mullioned window on the right, both with wooden lintels and internal wooden shutters with strap hinges. The left-hand gable end features a two-light wooden window on the left with internal wooden shutters and an inserted boarded door on the right. The rear has three boarded stable-type doors with wooden lintels, along with a 20th-century casement window that was formerly a doorway, indicated by straight joints below. There is also a one-storey lean-to on the left side.
Adjoining the southwest corner of the shippon is a short section of an 18th-century roughly squared and coursed stone garden wall, which connects to the northeast corner of West Molland Barton and includes a doorway at the southern end. The interior of the shippon has not been inspected. This building is of uncertain function but is likely a shippon, notable for its unusual width and the presence of loft doors only on the north side, suggesting it was designed for carts to be loaded or unloaded from the lane.
