Description

The Game Larders at Kailzie House were built around 1810 for Robert Nutter Campbell. This single-storey, four-bay rectangular building serves as a vernacular game larder range, containing two larders. It is constructed from coursed random rubble with droved ashlar dressings, featuring projecting margins and sills, as well as ashlar hoodmoulds with vertical rubble infill.

On the southeast (principal) elevation, the facade is plain, showcasing hoodmoulded windows in the outer bays and hoodmoulded doors in the inner bays, including a timber boarded door to the left and a two-leaf boarded door to the right. The northeast elevation is a blind end that retains partial remains of an adjacent single-storey building, which includes a similarly detailed blind door with droved quoins and a polished margin, along with an inset stone featuring a blind quatrefoil detail to the right. The northwest (rear) elevation has a regularly placed pair of windows in an otherwise blind wall, while the southwest elevation is also a blind end.

The southeast elevation features 8-pane glazing in timber sash and case windows, while the rear has plate glass sash and case windows, all protected by plain iron bars. The building has a piended grey slate roof with lead ridging and flashing, and painted cast-iron rainwater goods, with no chimneys present.

Inside, the larders are divided into two sections, each with a separate door. The basic interiors include half-height tongue and groove panelled walls, some timber benching, and deep window sills.
