SX9056 CHURCH ROAD, Churston Ferrers 1946-1/5/62 (East side) 10/01/75 Farm buildings SW of Churston Court Farmhouse, including gate piers and wall (Formerly Listed as: CHURSTON ROAD, Churston Ferrers Range of outbuildings to Churston Court Farm along road)
GV II
Enclosed courtyard containing shippons, stables, root house, granary, pound house and cart shed. Mid C19. Stone rubble with some red sandstone. Slated roofs. Plan: U-shaped range with walled courtyard on north-east. Range to north-west contained stables and cider store with lofts, wool-chamber and granary over; the upper storey reached by 2 flights of stone steps. South-west range contained lofted shippons with root house to north-west, projecting along Churston Road outside the courtyard. South-east range has pound house adjoining road and, nearest the house, an open-fronted cart shed and trap house with its back to the enclosed yard. Exterior: stable range has distinct architectural quality, with gabled centre projection having red sandstone quoins. 2 doorways in ground storey and a loading door above, all with slightly curved arches of voussoirs and jamb-stones alternately of limestone and sandstone. In the gable a ventilation slit with similar jambs. At either side, one window of similar character on each side, these in turn flanked by recessed sections containing stone staircases. At right-hand end a gabled projection similar to the rest with former cider store in ground storey and granary above. Next to it, at head of steps, was the wool chamber. Shippon range in same style with gabled projection at left-hand end. Immediately left of this again is one end of the pound house, with entrance to the apple loft. The pound house, which projects slightly to the south-east, matches the stables and shippon in its elevation to Churston Road. Abutting its south-east gable wall is a square gate pier with low pyramidal cap, forming one side of the original entrance to the farmstead. Cart shed has 2 stone walls faced with red sandstone and 3 red brick piers, the latter probably late C19 replacements. INTERIORS: little original detail survives. The overhead fittings for the apple-crusher remain in the pound house, and one wooden partition in the stables. Subsidiary features: Courtyard wall has chamfered coping of stones on edge. 2 square gate piers, that to right retaining its low pyramidal cap. Several staddle-stones used as garden ornaments are said to have come from a rickyard placed, not behind the barn, but at the opposite end of the farmstead, behind the stables.
