Bank Barn About 10 Metres North West Of Langmead Farmhouse

The bank barn, located about 10 metres northwest of Langmead Farmhouse, dates from the early to mid 19th century. It is constructed from stone rubble, featuring quoins and arches made of dressed Devonian limestone, and has a hipped slated roof. The barn is two storeys high.

On the ground storey, there are three wide, segmental-headed doorways facing the farmhouse. The middle doorway is flanked by buttresses that rise to the eaves, supporting a small pent roof. Above these buttresses on the second storey, there is a pair of large loading doors. Each side of the buttresses at this level has a ventilation slit, and to the left of the left-hand slit, there is a small window with upright iron bars, positioned below the eaves.

The rear elevation features large barn doors at ground level that correspond to those at the front, also flanked by buttresses carrying a pent roof. To the right of these doors is another doorway with a segmental arch.

Inside, the left-hand section of the upper storey is walled off and contains heavy beams designed to support machinery. The shippon below does not extend to this end of the building. The roof is a kingpost-and-ridge design with upward braces. This barn forms an excellent group with Langmead Farmhouse.
