Description

Divided into 2 unequal units. The outer N and W walls are of rubble stone, the remainder of brick with shallow pilasters, and flat stone copings. The bothy and workshops are against the outer face of the N wall. These are of rubble stone with slate lean-to roofs (partly collapsed), and stone stacks at the ends. Two projecting gabled doorways are equally placed R and L of centre. Between the doorways are 4 small-pane windows. To the L of the L-hand doorway are 5 full-height bays, all formerly open, but with 3 bays infilled and the outer bays with inserted casement window and doorway. On the R side of the R-hand doorway are 5 similar bays, of which 3 are open, the fourth is infilled and the outer bay has an inserted casement. The R end wall has wedge lintels to small windows lower L and upper R. The inner side of the N wall has ruinous lean-to greenhouses.

The E and W walls have doorways with stone surrounds at the N ends. The W wall is built around the former banqueting house. The wall between the 2 units has a wide gateway. At the SE corner the wall projects and incorporates a lintelled doorway that formerly opened to a walled path on the E side of the garden.
