Description
The Game Larder at Mount Stuart House is an early 20th-century, single-storey building with an attic, designed in a circular plan and reflecting the Arts and Crafts style. It features a whitewashed harl exterior with polished yellow sandstone dressings. The structure has a raised base course, moulded ashlar eaves, and chamfered surrounds and cills around its openings.
On the entrance elevation, there is a part-glazed, two-leaf timber door located at the center of the ground level, with a gabled, louvred attic opening directly above it. The building has single windows that are evenly spaced on the north, west, and south sides, with additional louvred attic openings above these windows. The roof is a conical shape, covered with graded grey slate and topped with a ball finial, and it features replacement rainwater goods.
