Description

Liswell Meadow House is a former kennels and kennelmaster's cottage on the Revelstoke estate, converted into a single house. It was built in 1881 and features the initials M.H. (Membland Hall). The building is likely designed by the office of George Devey. Constructed from slate rubble, it has a slate roof with gables and half-hipped gables. The structure is two storeys high with an attic and consists of a long range with gabled cross wings at either end and a half-hipped gable in the center. The gables have projecting verges at their tops.

The right-hand (southwest) end was originally the kennelmaster's cottage, which includes a scantle slate pentice hood over the first-floor window and a slate hood over a former doorway and window on the side. The side roof slopes down over a hipped roof single-storey outshut. The central section features small segmentally arched windows with long slate voussoirs, and there is a loft door (now a window) in the half-hipped gables at the center. Another former loft door is located in the left-hand gable of the cross wing, which extends to the rear southeast and has a square, diagonally set louvred turret on the ridge topped with a pyramidal roof and a large wrought iron weathervane shaped like a running dog. The rear elevation includes half-hipped dormers and gabled louvred ventilation dormers.
