Description
Pound House, located to the south of Penrose Manor House, is an 18th-century banked cider house. It is constructed from Killas rubble with timber lintels and features a half-hipped corrugated iron roof, with the remains of a stack at the rear right. The building has a rectangular plan, built into the bank at the rear and on the right side. It is two storeys high and has a two-window range, with an extra bay set back on the right. The windows are likely from the early or mid-19th century, featuring vertical glazing bars and random panes, except for a 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash window on the first floor to the right, which is of a similar date. There is also an old ledged door. The interior has not been inspected but is said to retain old collar trusses and a heavy beam in the ground-floor ceiling, above the granite base of a cider press, the remainder of which is displayed in the Helston Museum.
