Description

The building is a single-storey kennel complex designed by John Kinross around 1895, located within Pheasantry Wood at Manderston House. It consists of a taller gabled boiler-house and a lower kennels range positioned at right angles to each other. The structure is built from rake-jointed sandstone with ashlar dressings, featuring roll-moulded surrounds to the openings and a roll-moulded eaves course.

The boiler-house is situated to the northwest of the kennels range. Its southwest gable has a high window with a high-relief moulded surround and a curved trapezoid panel above, adorned with scroll-leaf motifs depicting entwined oak branches and the initials "IPM," which likely refer to James Percy Miller. The northeast gable includes a segmental carriage arch in a moulded surround, two-leaf timber doors, and a small window in the gablehead above. The northwest elevation features paired doors in the centre and to the left, connected by a linking cornice. The southeast elevation is attached to the right by the kennels range and has a window to the left.

The kennels range has four irregularly spaced doors on the southwest elevation, arranged in a 2-1-1 grouping, along with doors and low stone enclosures for the runs, which have battered ashlar coping. The northeast elevation contains three narrow windows with high-relief surrounds. The southeast gable features a deep base course that connects with the enclosure walls and has a small gablehead window with a high-relief surround.

The windows are timber sash and case with a small-pane glazing pattern, including one four-pane kennel window and plate glass sash and case. The roof is covered with grey slates, and the building has crow-stepped gables with beak skewputts. There is an ashlar ridge stack on the gig house with battered ashlar coping, and the ridges are also made of ashlar.

The interior was not seen in 1995.
