Range Of Farmbuildings At Bagtor Barton, On North East Side Of Yard

A range of farm buildings on the north-east side of the yard at Bagtor Barton, dating to the 19th century or earlier, with possible elements from the 17th or 18th century. The left-hand section of the buildings is built into a hillside. The buildings are constructed of granite rubble, with the lower part of the bank barn built from very large granite pieces. The upper storey of the gatehouse has been rebuilt in concrete block. The two left-hand buildings have corrugated iron roofs, hipped on the left, while the bank barn is slated and hipped on the right. The gatehouse roof is covered with corrugated asbestos, and the shippon on the right has a thatched hip at its right-hand end. The left-hand building appears to have been a barn, with large double doors. The second building from the left was a stable with a loft above. A particularly notable bank barn, the third building from the left, has three small doorways on the ground storey. The upper storey has a small doorway built into a much larger, partly blocked opening, with a heavy wood lintel, and a flight of concrete steps leading to it. To the left of this doorway are three rows of pigeon holes extending across that side of the barn, while to the right are four similar rows at a slightly lower level. A wide doorway in the rear wall aligns with the front doorway, and a slit window is to its right. Adjoining the bank barn to the right, set back a little, is a covered gateway incorporating a small two-storeyed building on its left-hand side. To the right of the gateway, also set back, is a shippon with a loft above. This shippon has a series of openings with brick arches in the ground storey, most of which are now blocked. Internally, there are few features of note. The bank barn and shippon have stop-chamfered spine beams with run-out stops. Roof trusses are mostly 20th century, except in the shippon, which has 18th or early 19th century trusses with collars pegged to the faces of the principal rafters. A large granite water trough, located centrally in the yard, is listed separately.
