West Game Larder, Montcoffer House

The West Game Larders are a mid to later 19th century group of three polygonal structures situated in the garden to the rear of Montcoffer House. Two larders are constructed of coursed rubble with brick arches, featuring ashlar dressings including raised margins, a base course, an eaves course, and a cornice. One larder is built of wood. Each larder has a four-panelled door. They are roofed with grey slates.

The western larder is in a classical style. Its doorways feature an impost course, and a semi-circular fanlight with a keystone. This detailing is repeated as windows above the impost course on each elevation, each with diamond-pane hoppers. The polygonal roof has a wooden, louvred ventilator at its apex, which is covered with an ogival leaded roof and topped with a ball finial. Some trelliswork cladding survives on certain faces of this larder. The interior is lined with lath and plaster, and contains dated game bag records written directly on the walls.

The eastern larder is built in a Tudor style, with hoodmoulded openings. Its doorway has a letterbox fanlight. It has two round-arched timber casement windows alternating with blank elevations. The sloped polygonal roof is topped with a ball finial, and possibly a fox weathervane. Like the western larder, trelliswork cladding is present.

The northern larder is smaller and of wooden construction, with a doorway featuring a rectangular fanlight and a cornice. The interior of this larder was not inspected in 1990.

Montcoffer House was renovated around 1774-75 for the Earl of Fife's Factor, William Rose. A dovecot was constructed by 1790. The west larder had a partly damaged roof in 1990.
