W range originally guest hall and private apartments, guest hall partly converted to RC chapel in 1779. S range originally refectory over cellar with SW wing adjoining. Offset C14 gatehouse to the SW. EXTERIOR: The gatehouse is the best-preserved medieval structure of the complex. Embattled with octagonal corner turrets and one large and one smaller double-chamfered archway with rib vaults with carved bosses; scattered fenestration. Long 2:1:3-window W front with a projecting 3-stage embattled tower in the centre with, alongside to the north, an embattled porch block with a moulded archway leading to a flight of steps up. Tall 1779 chapel windows to the left: 24-pane sashes with pointed-arched glazing bars in the upper tier. 2-light transomed windows to the right. The tower has a crank-headed doorway and 2 and 3-light C19 or C20 Ham Hill stone-mullioned windows with hoodmoulds. C12 moulded window in S side of tower.

Recent (1987-88) archaeological investigations by the Exeter Field Unit established more detail about the Abbey Church and the whole site might yield further evidence of interest.

Date uncertain. Masonry could be as early as C13. Present roof construction appears to be largely late C15, although thoroughly repaired in the 1930s, but may be a replacement of an earlier roof. Local red sandstone and grey limestone rubble; slate roof gabled at ends. PLAN: Sited south-west of the C14 gatehouse, on an approximately west-east axis. 16 bays with opposed porches in the centre bay. EXTERIOR: Impressively large with 10 buttresses with batters to each side and 3 at each end, the centre buttresses at each end taller. Gabled porches, each with buttresses flush with the front wall. Coped gables to main block and porches, which have flattened tops. Porches have large segmental-headed doorways and sections of alternating red sandstone and white freestone quoins. The north side has small arched doorways between buttresses 3 and 4 and 7 and 8 (counting from the east), the eastern doorway has an opposed doorway on the south side. 4 slit breathers to each long side, deeply splayed on their internal faces. The north porch has a small segmental-headed doorway on the east return, the south porch has similar doorways on both returns. East end has 3 slit breathers, west end has 2. Plank doors with strap hinges and door furniture of an C18 character. INTERIOR: Loft removed in the 1930s, the slots for the beam ends survive, high in the walls. 17 arch-braced trusses, the end trusses close to the end walls. Peculiar method of seating trusses onto wall tops, possibly dating from the 1930s. The principal rafters sit on the wall tops. Towards the front face of the wall, a wallplate, flush with the top of the wall and its front, into which the feet of the arch braces are fixed. The wall-plate appears to be entirely renewed or perhaps a new 1930s design. The trusses are bound with iron straps. 4 tiers of threaded purlins; ridge-piece (the latter possibly 1930s); some original rafters. The inner opening of each porch is spanned by a chamfered, step-stopped lintel. On the north side, 2 stone corbels are visible in the masonry below the existing lintel. 1930s black and red clay tile floor includes inscription dating the barn to the C12 and recording that it was used to house prisoners in 1588 when the Nuestra Senora del Rosano, one of the vessels of the Spanish Armada and the flagship of the Andalusian Squadron was captured by Drake and brought ashore. Possibly the earliest surviving barn in Devon. The curator of Torre Abbey has photographs of the barn prior to the removal of the loft in the 1930s and showing that the existing roof is a repair, not a 'reconstruction' (Pevsner) of the pre-1930s roof.
