Hayloft And Dovecote Approximately 40 Metres East Of Spring Lodge With Sheds, Kennels And Wall

The hayloft and dovecote, located approximately 40 meters east of Spring Lodge, date from around 1827 and were built for William Watson. This structure features coursed squared stone or snecked stone with ashlar quoins and dressings. The roofs are made of graduated stone slates, complete with stone gable coping and a timber dovecote lantern. The hayloft and dovecote consist of one high storey and three bays. The east elevation includes alternate block jambs leading to a full-height door for hay waggons, along with vent slits in the blank wall. The roof has gable copings and a square ridge timber lantern that is pierced with triangular pigeon holes and topped with a pyramidal roof and high weather vane finial.

Inside, there are queen post roof trusses. To the west, there are pent sheds and outhouses with boarded doors and one fixed light featuring glazing bars, which flank a walled enclosure that backs against a high rubble wall with flat stone coping. This wall curves around the north side of the house and connects to the yard wall. To the south of the hayloft, a high garden wall with flat stone coping extends approximately 25 meters south along the garden. East of the hayloft, the kennels have ramped walls and iron railings against a high garden wall that continues east to the entrance of the rear drive. This building is a well-preserved example of the auxiliary structures associated with a small country house.
