Barn and Adjoining Buildings Adjoining North of Tremedda Farmhouse

The barn and adjoining buildings, located north of Tremedda Farmhouse, date to around 1910 and were designed by the architect George Kennedy for M Grigg. These buildings form part of a group value context. They are a large complex consisting of a granary above dairies, waggon sheds, stables, and other structures, including a former shippon which has been converted into living accommodation. The buildings were constructed using a mix of granite ashlar and dressed granite brought to course, granite rubble, and granite dressings, with a hipped scantle slate roof over the barn and a coped gable end to the former shippon. The plan is an overall T-shape, with the barn as the principal building, featuring a 2:3:2 bay front, the central bays projecting forward with large openings supported by fat square ashlar columns. There is a double-depth plan to the ground floor. To the left are dairy bays with a shallow dairy to the front and a deeper dairy at the rear. A two-bay arcade links to the farmhouse. To the right of the barn stands a link stable building adjoining a cross wing former shippon. An enormous, possibly in-situ hewn granite horse trough sits in front of the arcade. The east-southeast front has a symmetrical arrangement of the central bays, with ground floor lintelled openings, a mid-floor band, oculus windows above, and round arches to the left-hand bays with recessed inner orders, and segmental arches to a loggia above. The right-hand bays contain wide, squat windows with small paned lights. The granary loft is accessed by external steps and a round arched porch. The dairy interior retains original fittings, featuring plaster vaulted ceilings in the front dairy and loggia. The buildings are part of an unspoiled coastal hamlet within an ancient field system in Cornwall.
