Description
The building is a pig sty that has been converted into kennels, located approximately 50 metres to the east of The Red House. It dates from the early 19th century and is constructed of regularly coursed sandstone with brick dressings and an old tile roof. The structure is one and a half storeys high and features a dentil brick eaves cornice. There are two blocked round-arched windows on either side of a central gabled porch, which has a blocked round-arched doorway. To the right, there is a later dwarf pen wall with railings. A loft door is located on the north side. This building is likely part of a series of unique outbuildings built on the Tong Estate by George Durant the younger, who died in 1844.
