Description
A group of stables and carriage sheds forming a courtyard, located to the north of Boconnoc House and the parish church. These buildings, now used as garages and offices, date to around the 18th century and the mid-19th century, with 20th-century alterations. The complex consists of a west block with a bellcote and clock tower, a south-east block, an east block extending north of the church, and a north-east block originally containing the farm manager's office. There are also gate piers on the north, south, and east sides.
The buildings form a square courtyard, with the east block featuring a projecting wing. The west range has an E-shaped plan and is almost symmetrical, being one-and-a-half storeys high. It has hipped ends to projecting wings on the north and south, with a gabled central wing surmounted by a belfry and clock tower. The ground floor now features inserted double timber garage doors (circa 1950s), while there are Diocletian windows in the north and south wings. The central wing has full dormer windows with hipped slate roofs. The windows are horizontal pivoting timber casements with glazing bars; a pyramid roof provides additional light. At the rear, a central gabled wing is slate-hung, with a semi-circular opening on the first floor, now partly blocked. The gate piers are of rubble stone with granite pyramidal caps.
The south wing features a rubble stone wall with a round-arched arcade, now blocked with later timber doors. A lean-to structure is attached to the rear. The east range comprises two two-storey blocks with hipped slate roofs, symmetrical in outline. Round-arched openings are partly blocked, and casement windows with glazing bars are visible at the first floor level, alongside dormer windows near the ridge. A pair of rubble stone gate piers with granite pyramidal caps lie between these buildings. The south block of the east range is L-shaped and continues eastwards, north of the church. On its south side, reused medieval arches are set into a rubble stone wall, likely originating from an earlier medieval house at Boconnoc. The north side is asymmetrical, with two storeys and three partly blocked windows under rubble stone arches on the left, and two two-light casements with glazing bars on the right. A double door is located near the centre, and a blocked round-arched opening is situated on the east side.
