Description
A complex of farm buildings set on the eastern slope of the Killevy Castle demesne, dating from the 1820s to 1830s. The buildings were added to the demesne during the transformation of Killevy Lodge into the present castle by architect George Papworth in 1836. By 1852, sale particulars described the out-offices as "on a corresponding scale and of real utility and convenience".
The farmyard is arranged in a rectangular plan around a central yard, positioned to the southeast of the castle. It is accessed via a pair of wrought-iron loop-headed gates supported on rubble stone piers with stone copings, reached from the castle garden and by a lane to the north of the main driveway. The entrance to the yard itself is marked by a semi-elliptical archway with finely dressed granite voussoirs.
To the west is a rubble stone boundary wall containing a well set within a semi-circular headed lime-rendered niche. To the southeast lies a walled garden.
The complex comprises five main buildings arranged around the yard:
The stable block occupies the southwest corner with two rear returns. To the west is a split-level outbuilding, single-storey on its western face and three-storey on its eastern yard-facing elevation, with unrendered rubble stone walls and a pitched corrugated asbestos cement roof. The yard-facing elevation has a central window flanked by doors at either end of the ground floor, three windows to the first floor (the central one smaller), and two windows to the second floor with heads at eaves level. All window openings have granite cills except those to the second floor. Its left gable abuts the rear return of the stable block.
A barn to the north is single-storey with a pitched corrugated metal roof. Its south-facing yard elevation has two central window openings and a tongued-and-grooved sheeted door at the extreme left end. The right gable is abutted by the animal house. The right gable also features a tongued-and-grooved sheeted door set to the left and an arrow loop window to the right, with a first-floor window containing the remains of a lattice-framed window. The rear northern elevation is blank.
To the east is a single-storey animal house with a monopitched natural slate roof. Its west-facing yard elevation has four tongued-and-grooved sheeted doors. A lean-to pen extends from its rear eastern elevation, with a corrugated asbestos roof and alternating tongued-and-grooved sheeted doors and metal-framed casements.
A two-storey boiler house occupies the southeast corner, with a pitched natural slate roof and the remains of a brick chimney to the south gable. The west-facing yard elevation has two windows to each floor. The south-facing gable has a tongued-and-grooved sheeted door at ground-floor right and two window openings to the first floor, that to the left being infilled. The east face is blank.
To the west of the stable block, on a raised bank, stands a small store with a pitched natural slate roof and lime-rendered rubble stone walls. Its west face has a door to the left and a single fixed-pane window with metal lattice frame to the right. The south side has an infilled window opening set to the right. The north and east faces are blank.
The complex is recorded as derelict.
