Description

The Harness Room at St. Audrie's Holiday Centre is a dovecot that dates from around 1855. It is constructed of red sandstone random rubble with Bath stone dressings and quoins. The building features a pyramid roof covered with fish scale tiles, overhanging eaves, and sprockets. At the top, there is an octagonal lantern roof with arched openings. The plan is an octagon set on a square base with broached corners. There are two storeys with square-headed lancet openings on all four sides, and the broached corners have stone tile coping, a chamfered string course, and a plinth. On the south side, the ground floor has lancet openings that flank a 20th-century plank door with a glazed opening. A 20th-century tile pentice hood is also present. A single-storey range to the west is not included in this description.
