Farm Buildings Complex Approximately 40 Metres North North West Of Stone Farmhouse

This is a complex of farm buildings located approximately 40 metres north-north-west of Stone Farmhouse, dated 1856. The buildings are constructed from local stone rubble with granite quoins and dressings, topped with a gable-ended corrugated iron roof. They were designed as an integrated unit and are said to include a saw mill and carpenter's shop, a steam engine house, a threshing barn, a hay or straw barn, and shippons.

The left-hand buildings originally housed a saw mill on the ground floor, although the pit has since been filled in, with a carpenter's shop above. To the right is the engine house, which contained a steam engine at the rear and an adjoining chimney. Beyond this is the threshing barn, which features a wide central cart entrance flanked by tall window openings. The hay or straw barn, which has a cattle shelter on the ground floor, is slightly awkwardly joined to the threshing barn and has a single large central opening. At the rear of the hay/straw barn, there is a row of shippons.

The buildings are primarily two storeys high, except for the engine house and shippons, which are single storey. The principal front of the buildings faces the rear of the farmhouse, showcasing gable ends of varying heights. The saw mill and carpenter's shop have two large openings, one above the other, while the engine house features a wide entrance and a narrower doorway to its right. A datestone from 1856 is visible above the threshing barn.

The interiors have had original fittings and machinery removed, but the buildings remain part of a relatively unaltered 19th-century estate farm, with few surviving steam engine houses in Devon.
