Description

The Dairy at Wynnstay Hall is a single-storey building dating from the 19th century. It features red brick that was originally stuccoed, with a Doric tetrastyle temple front that has a wider middle intercolumnation. The front is made of sandstone ashlar with monolithic columns and is topped with a slate roof. There may have been sandstone pilasters on the stuccoed wall, and a wooden cornice that is now missing. The central doorcase has carved wooden console details and a six-panelled door. The return elevations have blocked segmental-headed windows and a moulded stone cornice. At the rear, there is a two-storey cottage that shows evidence of at least two phases of construction, with some sections built of sandstone rubble and dressed stone window surrounds, while others are now rendered and painted.

The building was likely altered by Ferrey in the 1850s or 1860s. Inside, there is a red and buff diamond tile floor that closely resembles the style found in Wynnstay Hall. The sandstone fireplace is badly weathered and features a frieze depicting classical figures in a rural scene. The ceiling is groined plaster with central moulded decoration.
