Description
The building is a pigeon and poultry house located west of High Farmhouse, dated 1789 and inscribed with the initials W.T. for William Troutbeck. It features pink sandstone rubble walls, an eaves cornice, and V-jointed quoins, topped by a pyramidal roof with sandstone hips. The structure is two storeys high, with a single bay and a lower single-storey, one-bay poultry house to the right. The doorway has an alternate-block surround with a keyed lintel, and there is a right oval opening. The left oval window has been lost. The pigeon opening is a Diocletian window set on a projecting sill with scrolled brackets. The poultry house includes a stone-surround doorway and small square openings. The interior has been partly converted for use as a byre but is currently disused. The upper floor remains intact with all its brick boulins.
