Description

This is a 17th-century barn located approximately 25 meters south-west of Hall House in Bishops Tawton. It is constructed from dressed stone rubble and features a slate roof with gable ends. The barn has a T-shaped plan, with the base of the T forming a two-storey porch.

The main range of the barn includes a pair of buttresses to the right of the porch and a single buttress to the left, which is positioned outside a reset timber mullion window that has a chamfered surround and four lights with pointed arched heads. The porch contains opposing 17th-century four-plank doors on each side wall, with timber chamfered mullion windows above, each having three lights close to the eaves level.

The front of the porch features a single ogee-arched light window above a wide cart entrance that has been infilled, along with heavy jambs and a lintel for a 17th-century square-headed doorway. This doorway is fitted with a 17th-century framed and ledged door that has a pilastered archway design and a fishscale motif in the spandrels, likely taken from a 17th-century stable block. There is also an opposing wide cart entrance at the rear, with a porch canopy supported by original joists and an inserted buttressing pier on the right side.

The barn has a chamfered timber surround and single buttresses with offsets on each side. The roof structure is intact, featuring five trusses with straight heavy principals, lap-jointed pegged collars, and three tiers of threaded purlins along with a ridge purlin. The porch roof has a single 17th-century truss, and there is a lath and plaster partition between the porch loft and the barn, which includes a 17th-century doorway with a chamfered surround and an original door at the right end.
