Abstract: |
This report presents the results of a heritage assessment carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for private clients at Carwythenack Farm, Gweek, Cornwall, in advance of a proposed planning submission. The Barns are considered to be undesignated local heritage assets. The condition of the buildings is now poor and if left, they will inevitably collapse; it is felt the buildings are significant enough to provide considerable impetus to a project of renovation. Conversion of the barns into dwellings is the most practical way to ensure their survival and the wider clearing and conservation of the site, including the other potential archaeological features which it may contain. The main heritage value of the buildings which stand on the site today is that they are the last remnants of Carwythenack’s lost mansion-house complex, particularly barn range 1 and 2. The proposed conversions and demolitions of these redundant farm buildings will not cause any significant level of harm to the nearby designated heritage assets, and if anything, a high quality and sensitive development is likely to improve the settings of these assets. |
