Description
This is a farm building located approximately 30 metres to the east of Meavy Barton, dating from the late 16th century with 19th-century additions and alterations. The structure features stone rubble walls and a corrugated iron roof that is gabled at the right end and hipped at the left end. It has a long rectangular shape and consists of three distinct blocks that are all attached. The two smaller outer sections likely date from the same period and show early features, while the central section, indicated by straight joints, is probably a later 19th-century addition or rebuild.
The two early blocks each have a one-room plan, though their original functions are unclear; they may have served as stabling and a granary. The central section is a shippon, and the other two blocks were likely converted to this use in the 19th century. The building is two storeys high and has an asymmetrical front with original parts on both the left and right.
The left-hand section features a depressed two-centred chamfered granite doorway on the ground floor, flanked by a square granite-framed light to the right and a later window opening to the left. Above this doorway is a loading doorway. The central section has a doorway at the centre on both floors, with two flanking windows on the ground floor and slits with granite jambs on the first floor. The ground floor openings are topped with segmental brick arches.
The right-hand section includes a round-headed chamfered granite doorway on the ground floor to the right, accompanied by a buttress to the left. Beyond this doorway is a two-light chamfered granite mullion window, and above it is a chamfered granite doorway with a cambered head, flanked by granite-framed slits. There is also a 20th-century lean-to built at the front to the right of centre. At the rear of the left-hand section, there is a blocked two-light granite mullion window, partially obscured by the higher ground level.
