Farm Buildings And Adjoining Walls At 50 Metres South East Of Pengersick Castle

Farm buildings, a store, and ruinous walls, dating from the second half of the 19th century, are situated on the site of earlier Tudor buildings and incorporating elements of those earlier structures. The buildings are constructed of granite rubble with granite quoins and dressings, have scantle slate roofs with clay ventilator ridge tiles, and some corrugated sheet roofing. Gable ends and a hipped return are present. A brick axial stack is also visible. The layout is generally L-shaped, comprising various blocks facing south and east, enclosed by low yard walls to the west and south. They occupy the site of the south and east ranges of the west courtyard of Pengersick Castle.

To the far left (west) is a store with doors on both the north and south sides, and a small lean-to projecting to the rear right. Elements of earlier walls survive, notably the west gable end, which includes a flue with a window broken through it, dating from approximately 1927. To the right of the store is a block containing shippons (animal pens) below and a granary above. Further to the right are single-story buildings extending north, interrupted by a central cart shed.

A freestanding earth-bound rubble wall extends north from this west range, returning east and forming two sides of a ruinous building that is a remnant of the former castle. The south face is largely obscured by ivy. To the left is a low, single-story store with a central doorway, adjoining a taller, two-story barn with a regular four-bay front and loading doors in the second bay from the right. To the right of the barn are shippons, each with a door and window, extending onto the east face. A taller, two-bay cart shed is situated at the centre of the east face.

A ruinous wall connects to a 1927 arch constructed of miscellaneous moulded stones, varying in height up to about 2 meters. This complex represents a largely unaltered 19th-century farm group, associated with Pengersick Castle and reflecting its original layout.
