Barn at Rowtry

The barn at Rowtry is a Grade II listed building located in Sampford Courtenay. It dates back to the 17th century and has been slightly altered, likely in the early 20th century. The structure features cob walls that are partly rendered and is topped with a hipped corrugated iron roof on the left-hand end, while the right side has a gabled roof.

Currently, the barn is divided into two sections by a solid wall. The larger section on the left serves as a threshing barn, while the right-hand section was originally a cottage, complete with a gable end fireplace, but now functions as an animal house. The exterior showcases a single-storey barn on the left and a two-storey section on the right. The front is asymmetrical, featuring a cart entrance at the left-hand end and a small lean-to to the left of center, which has a small window to its right. There is a central doorway with a loading door above it, and to the right of center, there is a 17th-century chamfered wooden doorframe. Above and to the left of this doorframe is an original two-light chamfered wooden mullion window.

Inside, the cottage section retains a fireplace with a chamfered wooden lintel and well-finished chamfered cross beams. The building's original roof trusses remain intact, consisting of straight principals with threaded purlins and curved collars halved into the trusses.
