Description

The building is a dovecote with an attached range of farm buildings and cartsheds, dating from 1825 but incorporating earlier materials. It is constructed of rubble with horizontally-tooled quoins and dressings, topped with Welsh slate roofs. The south elevation features a three-storey dovecote on the right, which has a doorway framed in an alternating-block surround, a window above, and a blocked triple-arched pigeon opening with a stone shelf below the eaves, all capped by a pyramidal roof. To the left is a two-storey section that includes a ground-floor window and several older blocked openings. At the far left, there is a longer single-storey range that has a stable door, boarded double doors beneath a timber lintel, and a five-bay open section supported by cast-iron columns with timber lintels.
