GV II


Farmbuildings to planned farmyard: 4 ranges round a square courtyard with a covered
yard in the centre. Circa mid C19, said to be earlier than the farmhouse (dated
1876). Red sandstone with slate and corrugated asbestos roofs.
Plan: The buildings belonged to the home farm of Haccombe House (q.v.) and the yard
is large-scale, the north-east range incorporating the site of a former overshot
water wheel which was the power source for the farm machinery with a leat originally
carried in a launder on piers. Opposed entrances to the yard creates a through route
from the farmhouse to the fields to the north. The north-east range is built into
the slope of the land with rear access to the threshing loft. The south-west range
was probably a shippon ; the exact use, as designed, of the other two ranges is not
clear although a sale catalogue of 1942 refers to stables, bullock sheds, fattening
and calving pens as well as grain stores and granaries. The areas between the
covered yard in the centre and the south-west and south-east ranges have been roofed
over, some of the original openings have been blocked, but otherwise the yard is
complete.
Exterior: Facing the yard, the north-east range is divided to right of centre by the
housing of the former water wheel. To the right of this there are 2 loft doors and 1
window and 2 doors on the ground floor. At the extreme left of the range a door is
flanked by windows with a 4-bay open-fronted implement or cartshed with granite
piers, further doorway to the right partly concealed by a later lean-to, said to have
been the blacksmiths shop; one loft door. The rear elevation has 5 doors into the
loft.
The south-east range includes a wide entrance from the farmhouse. Facing the yard,
the block to the left has 2-light loft window and is open-fronted below with a
granite pier. To the right of the entrance the range has 2 loft doors, an open-
fronted cart or implement shed to the left, a large doorway with a segmental brick
arch and 2 smaller doors to the right, two loft doors over. The rear elevation has
one doorway. The south west range, facing the yard, has one large doorway to the
left and 4 shippon doors with brick arches, a modern doorway at the right end. The
rear elevation, facing the road to Haccombe House has 2 full height doorways with
paired plank doors ; one in the centre and one to the right. The gable end of the
range to the left has a full height doorway and a loft opening above. 1 ground floor
window and 1 loft window to the gable end of the range to the right. The north-west
range, facing the yard, has 4 doorways (one blocked), 4 windows (one blocked), 2 loft
doors and one window. A full-height cart entrance at the right end has a row of
pigeon holes under the roof. The rear elevation of this range has a large blocked
doorway with a segmental arch. The covered yard has a row of windows under the eaves
facing the south-west range and 3 doors, similar windows facing the north-east range
have been blocked, there are doorways in both end walls.
An impressive group of buildings, sited in the valley with Haccombe House and church
to the south-east.
