Description

The dovecote, located 50 metres south-west of Red House Farmhouse, dates from the mid-18th century and was altered in the late 20th century. It is constructed of squared rubble with cut quoins and dressings, topped with a stone slate roof. This square, three-storey building features first and second floor bands, as well as an arcaded eaves corbel table. The east and west sides have small-paned casement windows with pointed arches and stone surrounds, while the ground floor windows are 20th-century copies. There are similar casements in square-headed openings, and a renewed door on the north side. The roof is pyramidal with flanking stacks, one of which is banded and the other rendered over.

A 20th-century extension on the south side and an attached garage on the north side are not of special interest. A painting from around 1785 at Beaufront Castle depicts the dovecote with a wooden louvre on the roof, which would have allowed access for pigeons.
