Description
Netherton Kennels is a single-storey, single-bay kennel built in the later 19th century, likely by George Truefitt. It has a rectangular plan and features an enclosure to the southwest. The structure is made of pink and grey granite with ladder snecking and rough-faced dressings, and it has rough-faced coped walls along with a timber eaves course.
The southeast elevation is symmetrical, with stepped-down walls that advance to the left and right, and lean-to infill that includes louvred outer panels. There are boarded timber doors and two single-pane rooflights. The northeast, northwest, and southwest elevations are blank.
The roof is grey slate with a piended design, featuring a fishscale band and a lead ridge. A louvred ventilator with a piended slate roof and finial is located at the apex, and cast-iron rainwater goods are present.
The interior was not seen in 1998. The boundary walls include a curved wall to the southwest topped with cast-iron railings for the enclosure. The wall to the right of the southeast elevation extends to meet two square-plan, coped gatepiers.
