Description
The dovecote and attached garden walls, located to the east of the house, date from the late 18th century. They are constructed from coursed rubble with stone dressings and feature a Welsh slate roof. The square dovecote has two boarded doors on the west side, one on either side of an attached wall, and small windows on the north and south sides, topped with a pyramidal roof. Inside, the first floor is lined with stone nesting boxes. The tall garden wall on the west side has a boarded door set in an alternating-block surround. A similar wall encloses the garden on the west, north, and east sides, featuring rounded corners and another boarded door on the east side. The southern part of the east wall and the south wall are lower, with a central opening.
