Description
The Kennels is a mid-19th century former dairy. The building features two symmetrical single-storey blocks facing the lane, each with hipped roofs over a central entrance and shaped gables at both the north and south ends. It is constructed of ashlar stone and has slate roofs. The gable ends have various windows, while the rest of the blocks have blind windows. The north block has three windows, and the south block has four. There is an additional two-storey block to the north with three windows, also with a slate roof that is hipped to the north. This block has two double doors on the ground floor and one on the first floor, creating a courtyard within the complex.
