The kennels, built in the later 19th century, are single-storey and in an L-plan layout. They are constructed of rubble with squared and ashlar dressings, featuring harl-pointing and limewashed boundaries to the runs. The east-west range is blank on the north side and has six bays on the south side, with four leading to walled runs that have saddleback coping. Two bays on the far right are grouped closely by a re-entrant angle.

The north-south range is shorter, with a door by the re-entrant angle on the west side and another door at the center. There is a window in the chimney-headed gable end to the south. The roof is slate with a clay ridge, and it features ashlar coped skews and cast-iron rooflights.
