GV II

End sections of 2 outbuildings. Probably c1700. For the Kiveton Park estate of the Dukes of Leeds. Rubble limestone and red brick, stone slate and pantile roofs. Each of 1 storey and 1 bay. Both end walls have a stone plinth with plinth band surmounted by quoined brick panel having twin oeil-de-boeuf blind with keyed ashlar surrounds; C20 casement inserted above plinth of right-hand outbuilding. Both have eaves cornices beneath hipped roofs, that on left with stone slates and pantiled returns, that on right with stone slate eaves courses to pantiles. Interiors: contemporary roof structures of principal-rafter truss form. Most significant remains of the layout of Kiveton Park built from 1698 and associated with the architect William Talman. Oeil-de-boeuf openings are not regarded as part of the vocabulary of Talman and measured drawings of the house by James Gibbs show the house is not drawn from Talman's work. Rear sections of each outbuilding and attached farmbuildings of later date not of special interest.
