Bank barn and adjoining planned group of dairy, shippons, fodder houses, and cartshed
stables around a courtyard. Circa early C19 barn, otherwise circa late C19. Granite
rubble with granite dressings. Mostly scantle slate roofs, some replaced with
corrugated iron. Gable ends. The courtyard buildings return with hips at the outer
corners and terminate at a central east entrance flanked by coped gable ends with
roll moulded kneelers.
Plan: Square C19 courtyard with ranges of shippons on the north, south and west
sides. Entrance gateway between stables at the east side. Front left-hand- (south
east) corner is a dairy; right-hand corner is a cartshed; rear corners are fodder
(mangel or turnip) houses with side outer doorways built for sliding doors.
Adjoining at right angles to the middle of the left-hand (south) side is an older
bank barn with its left hand end built into the bank and with a loading doorway to
the middle of each end. There are opposing first floor winnowing doorways towards
the right. At first floor rear left (opposite a front window) is a blocked doorway
formerly giving access to a horse whim plat which survives behind.
Exterior: unaltered elevations; 2 storey barn, otherwise single storey. The shippon
elevations facing into the courtyard are symmetrical and have central windows,
doorways left and right and windows far left and right. Some original or old doors
and windows.
Interior: virtually complete with most of the original fittings including the
standings in the shippons.
Part of an unspoiled coastal hamlet set in the ancient field system of this part of
Cornwall.
