Description
The building known as the Kennels at Faskally dates from the mid-19th century and was extended at the rear in the late 20th century. It is a single-storey, four-bay cottage featuring swept jerkinhead roofs, constructed from rubble with stugged ashlar dressings.
On the south elevation, there is a bay to the right of the center that includes a part-glazed timber door set in a small porch, which has a corbelled brace to the left and decorative timberwork on the pediment. To the left, there is a window that may have been altered from a door, located in a slightly lower bay that also features a pediment. The outer bays are advanced, each containing a window and a jerkinhead roof, with the left bay being slightly broader.
The east elevation shows a jerkinheaded bay with a window to the right and another window to the left. There is a boarded timber door located in the original pedimented porch at the re-entrant angle to the right, which was formed by the extension.
On the west elevation, there is a jerkinheaded bay with a window to the right, along with an extension and a conservatory to the left.
The windows are modern timber with a 4-pane glazing pattern. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there are coped ashlar stacks with cans, decorative terracotta ridge tiles, and finials. The eaves are deeply overhanging and feature moulded bargeboarding.
The kennels consist of a piend-roofed range made of yellow brick, which includes five original boarded timber kennel doors at the center of the south side. Each door has a small cast-iron air vent positioned high to the left and a cast-iron rooflight above. There are gabled bays with windows on the outer right and left, as well as an additional window in a set-back bay to the outer left.
The windows in the kennels are timber sash and case with small-pane glazing, and there is one horizontally sliding sash window at the rear. The roof is also covered with grey slates, and there is a cavetto-coped brick stack with overhanging eaves.
