Buckfast Abbey Farmhouse

Buckfast Abbey Farmhouse is a building that dates from the late 14th century to early 15th century, with later alterations. It is currently undergoing significant refurbishment and reconstruction, as noted during a survey in 1992. The structure is built from local grey limestone rubble and features a slate roof from the 1990s, which is gabled at both ends and has a very steep pitch based on archaeological evidence. The farmhouse is an extension of the abbey guest house, projecting at right angles to it on the southeast side.

The ground floor likely contained store or service rooms, while the first floor features a heated 7-bay hall accessed by external steps on the south side. It is believed that the building was converted into a farmhouse after the Dissolution of the Monasteries.

The exterior includes a two-window south front with a projecting lateral stack to the right of the center and a 20th-century reconstructed arched doorway to the right. There is a double flight of reconstructed stairs leading to the first-floor entrance on the south side, along with two first-floor reconstructed windows. The north side has reconstructed openings, including a ground-floor doorway on the right with windows to the left, and three reconstructed first-floor windows. A 20th-century timber garderobe is located on the west end, indicating the position of an earlier garderobe.

Inside, there are eight reconstructed arch-braced trusses from 1991.
