Description
The barn and piggery at the rear of Bochym Manor House are partly in ruins and date from 1850, as indicated by a datestone, with other buildings likely constructed slightly later. The structures feature serpentine rubble walls, with granite sills, lintels, and voussoirs. The roofs are either gable-ended or hipped and covered with scantle slate, and there are two gable ends that have serpentine ashlar chimneys. The overall layout is U-shaped, enclosing a rectangular yard that is adjacent to Bochym Cottage and its rear wing, which forms the eastern side.
The principal building is a two-storey bank barn that makes up most of the western range, while a single-storey building at the southern end connects to the southern range through a covered carriageway entrance. The northern range contains a single-storey piggery that consists of one large rectangular covered space adjoining the right side of the barn's front. The east front of the barn features a single-storey coach house on the left, with the rest of the barn being two storeys high. Originally, the barn front was symmetrical, with a central carriage doorway and a window above it, flanked by two identical three-bay sections that included central doorways and loading or winnowing doorways above, along with ground and first-floor windows. The right-hand section now has doors that are partly blocked to form windows, while the two left-hand windows have been cut deeper to create doorways. Some original latticed windows remain intact. The wide central barn doorway is topped by an elliptical arch, and the coach house on the left also features a similar arched doorway. The lintel above the left-hand ground floor barn doorway displays the date 1850 in raised lettering. These buildings are part of a significant planned 19th-century group associated with Bochym Manor House.
