Description
The wash house and attached wall, located approximately 15 meters west of New House, date from the early 18th century. The structure is built of coursed limestone rubble with brick quoins and dressings, featuring an old tile roof and stone slate at the rear, along with a brick stack. It has a two-unit plan and stands one storey high, with a two-window range. A segmental brick arch is positioned over an early 19th-century six-panelled door, which is set in a similarly narrowed original doorway. To the left, there are segmental brick arches with brick jambs leading to a 19th-century two-light casement, while to the right is an early 18th-century two-light leaded casement. The roof is hipped with a ridge stack, and there is an outshut at the rear. Attached to the left is a wall made of coursed limestone rubble that encloses an area of approximately 150 by 40 metres west of New House. This wall features coursed limestone rubble and Flemish bond brick with flared headers on the inner face of the right side, and the entry near New House is flanked by square piers with moulded limestone cornices.
