10/125 Farm Buildings around farmyard - to north of Penfound Farmhouse

GV II

Farm buildings forming planned farmyard to the north of Penfound Farm. Probably 1880s. Built for Squire Edward Mucklow of Whitstone Head. Squared brought built to course with red and blue brick dressings, slate roofs with rendered coped gables, some slate hanging. South-west range consists of barn with loft above. North-east range consists of two 2-storey and one single-storey buildings: cartshed with loft above, 2-storey building possibly office, single storey building possibly calf-house. South-east range consists of a single-storey shippon. The north-east range consists of 2 single-storey buildings and a central cart entrance. Projecting north east from the barn into the centre of the yard is a single-storey dung house with 3 openings under brick arches to each side. The concrete floor of the yard slopes down to the dunghouse. Window openings throughout have brick arches and centre pivot 2-pane windows. Doorways also have brick arches and brick jambs and most of the contemporary timber stable doors are intact. The entrance to the farmyard is imposing: the buildings flanking the gateway have canted corners on the north east side, gateposts of square section have pyramidal concrete caps and contemporary iron gates. The dunghouse has canted corners and roof hipped at the north-east end. Edward Mucklow of Whitstone Head, Whitstone, died 1906. His estate improvements included ambitious land drainage schemes and the building and rebuilding of farmyards as planned farms. He was involved in the scheme to extend the railway to Bude and was the last Chairman of the Bude Harbour and Canal Company.
