Description

The carpenter's shop, built around 1806, is located approximately 50 metres east of Pradoe. It is constructed from uncoursed limestone rubble with angle quoins and features a graded slate roof, spanning two levels.

On the north elevation, there is a wide, segmental-headed horizontal sliding sash window at the centre, with an eaves hatch directly above. The west gable end has a segmental-headed arch with a keystone above a plank door to the right, and a segmental-headed window to the left. There is also a segmental-headed boarded door at the centre of the first floor.

Inside, the floor is supported by heavy beams, and there is a 19th-century cast-iron cooking range set into the back wall.

Historically, this carpenter's shop was one of several outbuildings built around 1806 by Thomas Kenyon, who purchased Pradoe as a wedding gift for his wife, Louisa Charlotte, in 1803.

The shop is listed for its group value, as it complements the Grade II* Pradoe, which includes attached service ranges and outbuildings, the Grade II dairy, brewhouse, and pigsties, the manure sump, kitchen garden wall, farm buildings, and the Grade II Registered landscape, all of which share historical significance.
