Description
The Kennels is a mid-19th century building that has been converted into a house. It is constructed from sandstone rubble with ashlar dressings and features Welsh slate roofs. The building has a single-storey, U-shaped plan.
On the west elevation, there are three bays on each side of a central range, which has chamfered rusticated quoins. The central area includes a blocked round-arched doorway with a raised ashlar surround, flanked by sash windows, also with raised ashlar surrounds. Above the doorway are blind oculi with ashlar surrounds, with the central one being larger. The roof features shaped kneelers and ashlar coping, and there are ashlar octagonal stacks at the ends.
The side ranges are lower and have chamfered rusticated quoins at the outer corners. Each side range includes central Diocletian windows with raised ashlar surrounds, flanked by sash windows with ashlar lintels, and hipped roofs at the outer ends.
At the rear, the central range matches the front elevation but has a 20th-century six-panel door in the doorway. The central range was originally designed for the groom's accommodation, while the outer wings housed the dogs, which have since been altered and extended. The Kennels were part of the Stanwick Park estate, which has interesting surviving buildings, although the main house has been demolished.
