Description

The piggery located at the rear (west) of Bochym Manor House is a partly ruinous structure dating from the mid-19th century. It features serpentine rubble walls with granite lintels and serpentine ashlar chimneys at the gable ends of the east and west ranges. The scantle slate roofs are mostly fallen. The layout consists of three parallel adjoining ranges of pig pens and associated buildings. The south entrance originally led to a wide covered passage that provided access to the pens or food stores on the right, left, and rear, situated on a sloping site that descends to the right.

This single-storey building has a south entrance front with a wide central doorway, which is spanned by an elliptical arch made of granite voussoirs. There are doorways flanking the arch at the gable ends, although the right-hand gable has collapsed. Inside, the east range retains pen partitions, while the west range has experienced some alterations in the 20th century. These buildings are part of a significant planned group from the 19th century that is associated with Bochym Manor House.
