Bath House And Well Head East Of Penrose Manor House

The bath house, built in 1840 for John Rogers, is located east of Penrose Manor House in Helston. It features incised render with pebbledash and granite dressings, including an ashlar plinth and copings with moulded kneelers, as well as window and door dressings. The dry slate roof has a rear gable stack topped with an octagonal pot. The building has a single-cell plan with a sunken bath on the right and is designed in the Tudor Gothic style. The front has a central four-centred arched doorway with a 20th-century copy of a three-panel studded door and a slit window above it. Each side wall has a two-light mullioned window, all with square hoodmoulds.

Inside, the walls are incised plaster, and the floor is laid with red quarry tiles. The roof features scissor trusses with bowtell-moulded purlins, and there is a four-centred arched cast-iron grate. Elvan steps lead down to the slate-lined bath. At the rear, there is a rounded well head surrounded by a rubble wall and capped with slate.
