Stables, Attached Screen Walls And Barn South East Of Penrose Manor House

These stables, attached screen walls, and a barn stand approximately 200 yards south-east of Penrose Manor House. The stables were built before 1788, likely for John Rogers, with the barn added in 1833-34, extended in 1841, and remodelled in 1855. The buildings are constructed of local killas rubble with granite dressings, and feature a 20th-century slate roof with a central bellcote topped with a pyramidal slate roof.

The stables are roughly U-shaped, with the barn set back to the left, built into the rising ground at the rear. The main stable block is two storeys high, with a 2:1:2-bay central range and courtyard returns. Most windows are mid-19th-century twelve-pane hornless sashes. The central bay has side buttresses and a low-pitched gable with a central oculus above a pair of sashes, set above an elliptical-arched carriage doorway with 20th-century planked doors. The flanking bays have blind windows except for a doorway on the right with an old planked door and a three-pane overlight. The left-hand courtyard return has blind windows above a stable door and an elliptical-arched carriage door; the right-hand return is similar with twelve-pane sashes to the first floor. The rear elevation of the left-hand wing is an irregular three-window range with mid-19th-century hopper windows containing vertical glazing bars and random panes, interspersed with sliding vents. It also has a window with margin panes and coloured glass on the left, two first-floor loading doorways, and two ground-floor doorways, including a doorway leading to a lean-to on the right with a chamfered oak lintel.

The barn front is symmetrical over three bays, with a one-bay, three-storey extension on the right. It retains an original window with vertical glazing bars and random panes, while other windows have their original shutters. A loading doorway is centrally placed in the original front, above a wide doorway flanked by narrower doorways, all with planked and ventilated doors. The extension on the right features twelve-pane fixed lights to the first floor above a wide doorway and a blocked doorway on the right; a short flight of granite steps leads up to the left of the wide doorway.

Inside the barn, the arrangement is a shippon with 19th-century wooden stalls surrounding a central cart and feed bay. The stalls feature original tether chains, slate troughs, and cobbled floors with tiled drains. The subsidiary screen walls flanking the left-hand wing of the stables are constructed of rubble and feature hog-back granite copings. A gateway to the left of the stables has square granite piers with round heads; a wall rises behind the left-hand pier, and another wall terminates in a rounded end surmounted by a later granite cap.
