Range Of Buildings To South Of Abbot'S Tower, Buckfast Abbey

The range of buildings to the south of Abbot's Tower at Buckfast Abbey dates from around 1800 and has undergone 20th-century alterations. The buildings are cement-rendered with a slate roof that has gables at both ends. There is a rendered shaft on the right end stack, a platband, and an old pot, along with an axial stack to the left of center and a rear lateral stack. The layout is single-depth with a rear right outshut, and the interior has been re-partitioned and rearranged for office use.

The exterior features two storeys and an asymmetrical five-window south front, which includes a 20th-century timber door on the left. There are five ground-floor sash windows, with the left-hand sash having eight over twelve panes and the others being 16-pane hornless sashes. The left-hand side of the first floor has two gabled dormers, one with a 12-pane sash and the other with a 20-pane sash, while the remaining three first-floor windows are 16-pane hornless sashes. The west gable end likely has small-pane sash windows from the 20th century. The rear elevation includes 19th and 20th-century timber windows and a 20th-century timber door. The interior has been modernized, and although the roof was not inspected, it may hold some interest.
