Kennels House And Attached Range Of Buildings Known As The Kennels

Kennels House and the attached range of buildings known as The Kennels are two houses linked by a range that includes a cart-shed. The buildings date from the mid-18th century and early 19th century. They are constructed from deeply-coursed sandstone and have stone slate roofs. The elongated L-shaped range consists of Kennels House as one limb, while the other limb features additions at the front left, including a six-bay cart-shed arcade that ends with another house.

Kennels House is two storeys tall and has three first-floor windows. The central entrance is a panelled door set in a flat-roofed wooden porch, with flanking windows that have renewed casements and glazing bars but no surrounds. There are blocked, quoined doorways at each end of the house, and the first-floor windows match those on the ground floor. The building features shaped kneelers and ashlar gable copings, along with stone end stacks.

The wing to the front left consists of several later additions that have been refenestrated with 20th-century casements featuring glazing bars. The wing adjacent to Kennels House is taller and has an end stack, while the lower range connects to the cart-shed and includes two doors and five ground-floor windows. The cart-shed has six basket-arched openings, with the right archway providing a passage to the rear. It features dressed-stone piers and voussoirs, with the outer archways being wider and fitted with boarded doors. There is a casement window above the left arch, while the others are accessed through boarded hatches.

The house at the end of the range has two first-floor windows (excluding the window above the adjacent arch) and a door in a glazed porch. The flanking windows have projecting sills, and the lintels are tooled as voussoirs, with end stacks. The wing at the rear of the cart-shed range is not of special interest. The buildings to the left, which are connected by a garden wall and also known as The Kennels, are not included in this listing.
