The Barnstaple Inn

The Barnstaple Inn is a public house located in Burrington, likely dating from the late 17th century, with internal alterations made in the 20th century. The building features painted rendered stone rubble and cob construction, topped with a half-hipped thatch roof. There is a tall brick chimney stack at the right end and a rendered stack at the rear left-hand angle. Originally, the layout was probably a two-room central passage plan, but all internal partitions have been removed in the 20th century, resulting in a single large room.

The facade is characterized by a wide central porch with a hipped roof, which is two storeys high. Above the semi-circular stone arched doorway, there is a 4-light window with three panes per light. To the right, there are three-light windows on each floor, and to the left, there is a single three-light window on the ground floor, also with three panes per light. Extending to the right is a long low range of converted shippons and outbuildings. The interior has been mainly altered in the 20th century, although some 19th-century joinery remains. The roof has not been inspected.
