Yalberton Farmhouse

GV II

Barn. Probably late C18 in origin, with extensive patching and
remodelling. Partly cob on stone rubble footings, partly stone
rubble; corrugated-iron roof (formerly thatched).
PLAN: Roofed on a NS axis, built down a slope from N to S and
adjoining the Yalberton Farmhouse (qv) at right-angles. The
western first-floor room of the house is built over the N end
of the barn.
EXTERIOR: Lofted. The E elevation faces onto the farmyard at
what is now the rear (south) of the farmhouse. Long 3-window
front with a pair of barn doors in the centre; loft loading
door to the right, 12-pane sash (probably originating from the
farmhouse) to the left. The left end has more cob and a small
doorway and one ground and one loft window, all with timber
lintels. The entrance from the lane to the N, under one room
of the house, is at loft level inside the barn.
INTERIOR: Partially inspected. Pegged collar rafter roof
trusses of a late C18 character.
Group value with a good vernacular farmhouse.
