Townfoot And Attached Kennel

Townfoot and attached kennel is a house and kennel likely dating from the early 18th century, with an earlier core. It was altered and raised to two storeys in the mid-19th century. The building features random rubble construction, with the first floor made of snecked stone and ashlar dressings. It has a Welsh slate roof and stone flags on the kennel. The house is two storeys high with three bays and includes a late 19th-century wooden porch adorned with decorative bargeboards and terracotta cresting. The windows are four-pane sashes with projecting sills, and the guttering is supported on stone brackets. The roof is gabled with flat coping and kneelers, and there are corniced end stacks.

The left side of the building has massive random rubble, while the rear displays slightly more even stonework, suggesting it may have origins as a bastle house, with walls approximately three feet thick.

Attached to the front left corner of the house is a small kennel from the 18th or early 19th century, featuring a segmental-arched doorway and a gabled roof.
