SX8399 Group of farmbuildings south west of 672-1/4/2 Great Park Farmhouse.

GV II

Group of farmbuildings including a linhay, shippon with bank barn over, dairy, stables and building of unknown function, possibly an engine house. Circa 1850. Flemish bond brick on stone rubble footings; slate roofs; cast iron gutters, down-pipe and water tank. Plan: 3 ranges of buildings fronting a yard.The south range is a north-facing 6-bay linhay. The west range, adjoining at right angles, is a large bank barn over a shippon. Adjoining this, and at an obtuse angle to it, is a small dairy block for servicing the shippon. Adjoining this, also at an obtuse angle and facing south-west, is a stable block. Attached to the stable block, at the north-east end, is a small lean-to,possible former engine house, partly built round a tall iron water tank that collected all the water from the front pitches of the barn and stable roofs and fed a granite trough in front of it. Exterior: The linhay has timber chamfered posts and is still open-fronted throughout. The bank barn/shippon is unusual in having 2 first floor doorways to the barn from the yard, not the usual single door. The doorways have segmental arched heads and floating brick porches, the cheeks carried on moulded granite corbels, and shallow lean-to roofs, also on shaped granite corbels. 8 doorways on the ground floor (some blocked) have segmental arched heads with brick voussoirs. The rear elevation has a doorway with brick cheeks leading onto a farm track to the fields. Some of the doorways have been blocked. The dairy block is one-bay with a large segmental-headed arched doorway and a loft window. The stable block is 4 bays with a doorway to right of centre flanked by windows; loft doorway above the ground floor door, also flanked by windows, second loft door to the right. The rivetted iron water tank at the right end is large (about 3 and a half metres) and cylindrical with a tap above the triangular granite water trough.Lean-to abuts the tall, ramped stone wall to the yard;it is roofed with massive thick slates, and door on the south east side has an iron frame and iron middle rail, the lower half infilled with boards. Interior: All buildings roofed with early C19 king post and strut trusses, some struts missing but may never have been used as the same arrangement is noticeable at Wellparks (q.v.), another Downes estate farmyard. Lean-to has roof supported on iron rafters, and contains a granite platform with the remains of some iron fixings. Group value with the farmhouse and an earlier farmbuilding to the east. An interesting example of a small planned estate farmyard.
