Farm Buildings And Wall On East Side Of Cow Yard Approximately 200 Metres South Of Godolphin House

This is a farm building, likely used as shippons, along with yard walls and a pen, located approximately 200 metres south of Godolphin House. It was built in the first half of the 19th century and is constructed from granite rubble, featuring dressed granite quoins, jambs, and lintels. The roof is made of cement-washed scantle slate, built in two phases with gable ends and four timber louvred pyramid-roofed ridge ventilators, one of which has only its base remaining.

The building is a long rectangular range facing west, with an integral lean-to at the rear left (north). It is built up the slope, being single storey on the right (uphill) and two storeys on the left, which provides a fodder store partly in the roof (the floor was removed in the 20th century). The west front features an irregular arrangement of doors, cart doors, and windows, with a 20th-century concrete blockwork lean-to porch added near the centre of the left section. Internal limewash returns on the outer face frame the doorways, following traditional practice.

At the right-hand end, the outside north wall of the yard and buildings is of earlier construction, with some 20th-century reconstruction. The top end of the yard is enclosed by a cross wall and gate, creating a small inner yard, possibly for calves. An ancient wall at the north-east corner of the range separates the cowyard from the garden and extends continuously northwards down to the Bakehouse, which is part of the rear yard of the house. This wall includes a doorway. The interior features a 19th-century roof and some rubble divisions. This building is part of a group of farm buildings associated with Godolphin House.
