Okehampton Camp: Building 94 (formerly Officers' Quarters)

A terrace of four pairs of officers' quarters built in 1894 to a design by James Julian, a War Office contractor working to specifications outlined in the Royal Engineers Regulations of 1892, situated in the south part of Okehampton Camp, close to the boundary fence, with the tented campsite immediately to its north.

MATERIALS: slate stone block work with brick quoins to the corners and window openings, the latter with granite window cills and entrance threshold. Gable ends and rear of the building has now been rendered and painted. Main roof, including that to the porches, is pitched and covered in slate with plain timber barge boards to the gable ends (both recently replaced). Former chimney stacks to each pair now no longer there.

PLAN: each pair with identical layout; a central corridor with an officer's bedroom on either side and servant's cleaning room to the rear. Later infill of 1971 to house a toilet block and a flat roofed extension at its east end to house a boiler (*these are not of special interest).

EXTERIOR: each pair has a front porch, with a small window and entrance to the side, flanked to the right by two windows. Similar window arrangement to the rendered rear elevation. All windows are recent (2014) uPVC replacements and the front doors are GRP. The building stands on a slightly raised, stone paved platform with curved corners and granite curbs, following the footprint of the building. This forms a continuous path around the building with cut outs for small grassed rectangular areas to the front of each pair. Next to each entrance is a cast-iron boot scraper (two are missing their horizontals), fixed into the paving.

INTERIOR: plain interior with modest architectural detailing surviving in the hall. Timber panelled glazed door, with four pane light above gives access to the former servant's room to the rear.
