Description
The Old Dairy at Busby is a former domestic quarters of Busby Hall, located at the north end of The Old Nursery wing. The building consists of two sections: the main two-storey part on the right, which dates from the 18th century and may have an older core, and a one-storey section on the left from the mid-18th century. The exterior features herringbone-tooled sandstone and a grey pantiled roof with stone ridge, copings, and stacks.
The two-storey section has four bays and a plinth. It includes a replaced six-panel door with a low overlight in the third bay, flanked by two low six-pane windows—one fixed and the other a sash. The remaining windows are twelve-pane sashes with slightly projecting cills. There is a chimney at the left end and two more on the ridge. The one-storey section has two builds, with one and two bays, and is stepped down the hill. It also has a plinth, a four-panel door with a tall overlight, and a twelve-pane sash window on the left. The roof is hip-ended. The building is included for its group value.
