Cadw's description
Location
On the E side of the house.
History
Built in the second half of the C19, probably contemporary with the house, and first shown on the 1889 Ordnance Survey.
Exterior
An outbuilding of rubble-stone and slate roof with rear projecting lateral stone stack of which the upper part is rebuilt in brick. It has a central range with gabled wing on the R and a wider cross wing on the L. The central section has a boarded door with overlight on the R side, and 2 replacement windows to its L. Above is a larger replacement window in a gable. The R-hand wing has double boarded doors under a timber lintel and 2-light loft window. The L-hand wing has a boarded door in its side wall facing the small yard, and inserted double doors under a steel lintel. In the gable end original coach doors have been replaced by a single door and glazing. Above it is a replacement loft window. The L side wall has a boarded door, 2 replacement windows and a small inserted window. The cross wing projects behind the central section, to the R of the stack, and has a boarded loft door where the ground level is higher.
Interior
Not inspected.
Reason for designation
Listed for its special architectural interest as an outbuilding retaining definite C19 character, and for its contribution to the historical integrity of the house.
