Description
This linhay and stables, dating from the late 17th to early 18th century, is located approximately 2 metres north-east of Hole Farmhouse. The structure is built from granite stone rubble, featuring some large blocks of roughly-dressed granite, and has a corrugated iron roof that was formerly thatched.
The building consists of stables and a linhay in a single block that backs onto the lane and faces west towards the farm courtyard. The stables occupy slightly more than half of the structure, situated on the left side of a 2-bay linhay. The stable section includes a stable-type plank door to the left of a fixed pane window with glazing bars, both likely featuring early 20th-century joinery. Originally, the 2-bay linhay was open-fronted, but the front is now weatherboarded and includes a 20th-century garage door. The rear wall is solid, and the roof is hipped at both ends.
Inside, the building showcases plain carpentry details, including roughly-chamfered crossbeams in the hayloft and a 6-bay roof supported by A-frame trusses with pegged lap-jointed collars. The stables contain 19th-century stalls. This linhay and stables are part of a group of attractive farm buildings, with the most notable ones listed, situated near the significant Dartmoor longhouse, Hole Farmhouse.
