Description

EAST BUDLEIGH HIGH STREET (west side), EAst
SY 0684
Budleigh
8/77 Stable block approximately 3
- metres west of Wynards House
GV II
Stables and garage, probably a domestic house originally. C16 origins, much-altered
and partly rebuilt in late C19. Plastered cob on stone rubble footings, patched and
rebuilt with C19 brick in places; interlocking red tile roof.
2-room plan building facing Wynards House to the north-east. The left (south-
eastern) room is a stable with tack room, the right room has been converted to a
garage entered from the right end. The upper floors are used as haylofts and
stores. The building has been so reorganised that its original domestic layout can
not be ascertained in a brief survey. 2 storeys.
Irregular 2-window front of late C19 casements with glazing bars, that ground floor
right under a low brick segmental arch, and a C17 oak 2-light casement with
chamfered mullion ground floor left. (It has never been glazed). In the middle are
3 plank doors, the right one to the garage. Roof is gable-ended. The right (north-
western) gable end includes a wide C20 garage entrance and a first floor C19
casement with glazing bars. Also here there are 2 very small and unglazed but much
earlier windows set either side just above first floor level. Both are 2 lights and
built of oak. The left one is C17 with chamfered mullion and the right one is C16
with triangular heads and cut from a single piece of oak but now the mullion has
been cut through. On the rear, near this end are 2 3-light oak windows similar to
those on the end, a ground floor C16 oak window again with triangular heads and
first floor C17 window missing its mullions.
Interior: the 2 rooms are divided by a cob crosswall rising to eaves level and
continued into the roofspace with timber framing. In the garage there is a half
beam across the building. This is either reused or it marks the position of a
demolished partition. The inner bay contains a C17 axial beam, soffit-chamfered
with bar-step stops. The stable beams appear to have been reused. They too are
C17, soffit-chamfered with straight cut stops. C19 king post truss roof and one
disused C16 or C17 jointed cruck post survives.
