GV II

Farmbuilding. 17th century. Local coursed rubble with rendered cob to west roadside
elevation and gable ends; weatherboard over timber frame to east elevation; hipped
corrugated iron roof. Rectangular plan. East elevation to farmyard has concrete lintels
over doorway and flanking windows to former stable on right; weatherboarded walls to
former range on left, including loft door. Interior noted as having 6-bay roof with 4
jointed cruck trusses: rear rafters rest on wall plates and front rafters pegged to wall posts
in manner typical of Devon linhays; one truss is side-pegged jointed and the other 3 are
rice-pegged slip tenon trusses of less common type. Unusually for a farmbuilding, one
of the wall posts and a pair of floor beams which abut it are ornately carved with scrolled,
notch-stopped details to chamfers. An interesting and early example of a combination
type of farmbuilding including a linhay with unusual detail.
