Description
The former kennel house and walls of the kennel compound behind Beechtree Lodge were built in 1867 for the 2nd Lord Stanley. The structure is made of red brick in English garden wall bond, with pink sandstone dressings, a purple tile roof, and a single brick chimney. The south gable of the kennel house features crow-stepped design with stone flag caps and a weathervane on top. This gable includes a three-light chamfered stone-mullioned window with applied lead glazing. Above the window is a date stone that displays a diamond-shaped tile featuring the Stanley Arms and a small circular pitch hole. The west front has a five-board door with a rough brick segmental head, accessible by two stone steps. Inside, there is a cast-iron grate and a copper boiler used for preparing the dogs' mash. The square kennel yard is surrounded by a brick wall with triangular stone coping. The higher stone entrance has a four-centred arched head leading to a six-board door. The interior is now a flagged walled garden. The building is listed for its group value only.
