Wall With Outbuildings Behind, Linking The Hermitage And Stable Block

This is a wall with outbuildings that connects the Hermitage and the stable block, dating from the 18th century with some alterations made in the 19th century. The structure is built from coursed roughly-squared stone and features dressings, topped with a Lakeland slate roof.

On the south side, which faces the drive, there is a tall wall that has four shallow buttresses and a flat coping. To the far right, there is a doorway in a raised chamfered surround, along with several small windows. A stepped and corniced stack is located on the top of the wall to the right.

The north side features a range of pent outbuildings divided into four sections. From left to right, there is a laundry that has a two-panel door with the inscription 'D DAVIS 1785 HERMITAGE' in a chamfered block surround, flanked by 12-pane sash windows in raised moulded surrounds. Next is a boot hall with a boarded door in a chamfered block surround, accompanied by old six-pane casements with tooled sills and lintels. Following that is a cartshed with two chamfered segmental arches and a small window above, and finally, there are privies with two similar smaller arches and a part-slatted loft window.

This structure is included for its group value.
