SX85NE TOTNES ROAD

08/10/93 Planned farmyard west of Collaton
Farmhouse

GV II

Planned farmyard to Collaton Farmhouse. Late 1840s/early
1850s, with some later alterations.
MATERIALS: Local red breccia rubble, one range re-fronted in
brick.
PLAN: Sited west of and below the farmhouse, on a prominent
roadside corner site. Buildings on 3 sides of a yard. The west
range, opposite the farmhouse, is a shippon, the north range,
backing onto the Totnes Road, is a stable. South range a
shippon.
EXTERIOR: The west range has been re-fronted in brick on the
yard side only. It has 3 ground-floor doorways, alternating
with windows, all with segmental heads, and a large opening at
the right end with a large loft entrance above. 2 smaller loft
doors to the left and centre.
The south shippon has 5 segmental-headed shippon doorways with
slatted doors and 2 segmental-headed loft doorways and one
segmental-headed glazed loft window.
The stable block opposite has 2 original stable doors, one
with a deep overlight and one segmental-headed window to the
right, segmental-headed loft doorway. 2 openings at the left
end, a doorway and a loft door have brick architraves and are
probably secondary. Lean-to addition at right end has a
segmental-headed doorway and a window. The rear elevation of
this range has a blocked archway with keystone from the Totnes
Road.
INTERIOR: The brick-fronted shippon has a scissor-braced king
post roof. The south shippon preserves mangers and brick
feeding troughs and has a rear feeding passage. The stable
range has a paved floor and retains some stall partitions and
mangers.
A good example of a modestly-scaled planned farmyard set
around a cobbled yard, designed for a primarily dairying area.
