Description
The building is a garage and workshop located adjacent to the west end of Garden Cottage at Millhouse Grange. This structure, originally a bastle house, dates from the late 16th century or early 17th century. It is built of massive rubble with a stone slate roof on the south side and a Welsh slate roof on the north side, featuring reverse stepped gable coping. The building has two storeys, with 20th-century garage doors on the ground floor and a square boarded window on the first floor. There is an original door with a flattened Tudor head and a chamfered surround, which has been reduced to a window, along with a small boarded-over window. The left side of the building has a boulder plinth and a central blocked ground floor loop. The rear elevation includes a small square inserted ground floor window and a blocked first floor loop. The interior features original transverse beams that support the first floor, a fireplace with a chamfered surround likely from the early 18th century, and a central principal-rafter truss. The attached Garden Cottage on the right is not of interest.
