Description
Deer House is a building dating from around 1740, constructed with English bond brickwork and topped with a stone slate roof. This two-storey structure features a hay loft on the upper floor and is surrounded on three sides by a continuous lean-to. The lean-to includes a total of seven semi-elliptical headed arches that allow deer to enter. The main block has a moulded stone oeil-de-boeuf window at one end, vents along the sides, and a first-floor loading door at the opposite end. It also has two 2-light double-chamfered mullion windows and coped gables with kneelers. Inside, the mangers remain, designed to be fed directly from the loft above.
