Description
Conheath is a pair of detached two-storey farm steading blocks from probably the early 19th century, located at the eastern entrance to a courtyard. The larger block, situated to the south, features a three-stage octagonal dovecot attached to its northeast corner, which has been converted for domestic use. Both blocks are constructed of rubble with ashlar dressings, and the north block is white-washed.
The dovecot, which is now part of the house, has a continuous cill band at each level, with mostly blind openings, although there are glazed openings on one face at each level. The third stage has square openings with flight holes on two faces. It also features bracketed eaves and a facetted low roof topped with a weather vane finial.
The south block has three bays on both the north and east elevations. The north elevation includes a former gabled brick porch, while the east elevation has blocked cartways and a loft door, with an off-centre main door and windows in the outer bays, though these have modern glazing. There are corniced stacks present.
The north block has a rectangular plan and a three-bay south elevation with margined openings. Each level has an off-centre door, and there are windows, one of which is blind, in the outer bays. The block features two square-headed cartways leading to the courtyard and a single bay on the east flank. Both blocks have piended or gabled roofs, all slated.
