Abstract: |
CAU was commissioned to carry out a historic building record prior to the conversion of the Grade II Listed farm buildings (Designation ID 1142672) located at the heart of the Enys estate, near Penryn, Cornwal. A separate watching brief as part of Listed Building consent will be published in a separate report by CAU. The buildings include an elaborate two-storey barn was built c1800 and very soon afterwards three other building ranges were completed to create a large quadrangular farmyard. The north-west range within the farmyard was originally built with an open-fronted linhay as an imposing central block with three pigsties on each side. The other ranges included spaces to accommodate other farm animals including cattle and working horses. With the exception of the oldest range all the principal buildings incorporate very high quality ashlar masonry and other fine architectural details. Before the 1840s a horse-engine house had been added to the barn and the central block of the north-west range had been converted to become a cow-house. By the later 19th century the oldest range was refitted as a specialised stables and coach house block. The Enys estate was requisitioned by the British Admiralty during the Second World War and was temporarily used by the Royal Netherlands Navy as a training establishment. After the war the farm buildings appear to have gradually fallen into disuse and many were used for storage. |
