MEAVY MEAVY SX 56 NW 4/117 Farmbuildings approximately 30 metres to east of Meavy Barton

GV II

Farm buildings. Circa late C16 with C19 addition and alterations. Stone rubble walls. Corrugated iron roof gabled at right-hand end and hipped at left-hand end. Long rectangular plan. The buildings, all attached, are in 3 distinct blocks, the 2 smaller outer end sections show early features and are probably contemporary while from the evidence of straight joints the central section is later, probably C19, although it may be a rebuild. Both early blocks have 1-room plan, their original function is unclear but it might have been stabling and granary. The central section is a shippon and the other 2 were also converted to this probably in C19. 2 storeys. Asymmetrical front with original parts to left and right. The left-hand section has a depressed 2-centred chamfered granite doorway on the ground floor flanked by a square granite framed light to its right and a later window opening to its left. Above it is a loading doorway. The central section has a doorway at the centre on both floors with 2 flanking windows on the ground floor and slits with granite jambs on the 1st floor. The ground floor openings have segmental brick arches. The right-hand section has a roundheaded chamfered granite doorway to the right on the ground floor with a buttress to its left. Beyond that is a 2-light chamfered granite mullion window. Above the window is a chamfered granite doorway with cambered head with a granite framed slit to either side. C20 lean-to built at the front to the right of centre. At the rear of the left-hand section is a 2-light blocked granite mullion window partially obscured by the higher ground level.
