Description

The building is a piggery and cartshed located immediately south-southwest of Borease Farmhouse, dating from around the mid-19th century. It is constructed from dressed granite and features a grouted scantle slate roof with gabled ends and red clay ridge tiles, which are raised at intervals for ventilation. The roof over the cart shed at the right end is lower than the rest.

The structure has a long rectangular plan that includes four pigsties, each with a doorway at the front. On the left-hand end, there is a room that likely served as a preparation area or storage, which has a doorway in the left gable end wall. At the lower right-hand end, there is an integral two-bay cart shed.

The exterior showcases four evenly spaced pigsty doorways at the center and right, each featuring dressed granite lintels and plank doors. To the left, there is a large 12-pane window with a timber lintel. The left gable end has a doorway with a plank door. The right end houses the two-bay cart shed, which has a lower scantle slate gable-ended roof and an open front supported by a central square granite monolithic post, with the right-hand bay being slightly wider. The interior has not been inspected.
