Description

The building known as the Kennel at Spott House, possibly designed by William Burn around 1830, is a single-storey structure arranged in an L-plan. It is constructed from squared and snecked red sandstone, featuring ashlar dressings and chamfered arrises around the openings. The kennel consists of three separate sections. The western block has a door on the south gable and another door leading to a railed court, with a window on either side. The north gable is blank. The adjoining east-west block contains two kennels that open to the south, with a doorway on the left and a small horizontal window on the right, and railed courts extending to the south. There are additional doors at the rear, along with larger windows in the outer bays. The roof is covered with grey slates and has a gable end stack on the east gable.

Inside, the walls are lined with white enamelled bricks, and the floors are flagged. The courts feature ashlar coped rubble parapets with simple wrought-iron railings and grooved drainage tiles.
