Description
The Kennels at Kelburn Castle Estate, dated 1870, is a single-storey, gabled kennel block designed in the gothic style. It features a roughly Y-plan layout and is situated on elevated ground at the northern end of the estate, offering views over the Firth of Clyde. The building is constructed from squared and snecked sandstone rubble with ashlar margins.
The prominent north gable includes twinned pointed-arch openings adorned with cast iron railings, a carved quatrefoil plaque dated 1870 featuring a 'G' monogram, and a timber pendant at the apex. The structure has timber panel doors, timber-framed windows with 4-pane glazing, and a grey slate roof with clay cans.
To the west, there is a segregated rectangular-plan exercise yard or run, enclosed by a low boundary wall and gothic arch-shaped cast iron railings. Additionally, a small enclosure with railings is located within the re-entrant angle of the south elevation.
