| Notes | Yard of farmbuildings on 3 sides of lower yard at Middle Blagdon Farm. c1870s. MATERIALS: Local stone rubble with some local red breccia and red brick dressings; turnerised slate roofs. PLAN: Part of a planned double courtyard of farmbuildings to rear of Middle Blagdon Farmhouse (qv). The lower yard was a cattle yard with steps down from a lane dividing it from the higher yard and access to the fields on the N side. The SW range backs onto the dividing lane, with first-floor access from the lane. The steep flight of steps down in the centre is flanked by buildings. The NE range consists of a lofted shippon with a massive hay store on the NE (field) side and a horse engine house. Steps on the NE side at the S end lead up to the rear of the SE range. On the yard side of this range open-fronted shelter sheds face the yard. The rear of this range consists of a cartshed flanked by gabled blocks. EXTERIOR: The buildings mostly have double platbands below the eaves. The NE range has 8 segmental-headed doorways (one blocked) with red brick arches and red breccia jambs on the yard side, with original doors of vertical slats. 3 segmental-headed loft doors with brick arches. The left return has a loft doorway and segmental-headed window below. The rear elevation has 2 doorways and a loft door which opens into the tall, 5-sided hay store which has a torched slate roof. Further S a horse-engine house with canted end is attached to the rear of the range; red breccia stone steps at S end lead up to the loft level of the SE range. The SE range has a 4-bay shelter shed facing the yard, with wide segmental-headed brick arches on stone piers. On the upper side, it consists of a 3-bay cartshed with stone piers between 2 gabled blocks. The right-hand block has a double door and a gabled left return with brick bulls-eye windows above the cartshed roof. The left-hand block has a tall round-headed brick doorway. On the yard side the SW range has a flight of steep red breccia steps up to lane between the yards. These are flanked by small blocks with a single doorway each on the yard side and lean-to roofs, with small openings, 2 each, on the lane side. The outer blocks are taller with gabled roofs, the left-hand has a segmental-headed doorway in the centre flanked by small windows. The rear elevation, from the lane, has 3 doorways at loft level. The right-hand block has a segmental-headed doorway on the yard side and 2 doorways at loft level from the lane. INTERIOR: Only partially inspected but good quality carpentry survives. The shelter shed range has scissor bracing to the joists, the cartshed above has a remarkably elaborate trussed roof with diagonal bracing augmented with iron ties. Some of the buildings retain feeding troughs etc A rare example in Devon of a large-scale split-level Victorian farmyard, still in agricultural use, and relatively unaltered. HISTORY: The farmyard at Middle Blagdon Farm served 220 acres.Listing NGR: SX8575160997 | Facts about Notes |
