Woody Bay Station in Martinhoe was one of the properties given a Grade II listed status in 2025

Ten buildings given protected status in 2025

January 5, 2026

A train station, a barracks, and a dairy are among ten buildings in the South West that received protected status in 2025.

Historic England (HE) added nine buildings in Devon and one in Cornwall to the National Heritage List for England, recognising their special architectural, historical, or archaeological significance.

The list now includes more than 400,000 buildings, sites, and landscapes, with 199 locations across England added over the past year.

Historic England co-chief executives Claudia Kenyatta and Emma Squire said the newly listed sites “highlight the fascinating history that surrounds us all.”

Historic England gave Sharlands House a Grade II listing

There are three levels of listing — Grade II, Grade II*, and Grade I — which provide legal protection to buildings of special architectural or historic interest.

Historic England has awarded Grade II status to the following buildings:

  • Casemate Barracks, Whitsand Bay Holiday Park, near Torpoint

  • Former sexton’s house, next to the Church of St Michael and All Angels, Honiton

  • Sharlands House, including the front wall and former stable, Braunton

  • Beara Court, including the attached service wing, stable block, garage, gate piers, garden walls, and steps, Black Torrington

  • Woody Bay Station, including the lever hut and stable, Martinhoe

  • Gullet Farmhouse, including entrance gate piers, garden walls, steps, and sea wall, as well as the Home Barn with attached former laundry, a boathouse, Drive Cottage, a former motor garage, and a dairy, South Pool

The front wall and former stable at Sharlands House were all given a Grade II listing
