Description

This is an attached wall with gatepiers, dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century. The outbuilding is constructed of whitewashed rubble stone and features a slate roof that is hipped to the west. An additional bay has been added at the eastern end, which includes a large square whitewashed stone bell-tower with arched openings and a pyramid slate roof.

The long two-storey range has two stone outside stairs, each with arched recesses beneath. The stairs at the eastern end provide access to a door leading to the ringing floor for the bell. To the left, there is a double-fronted stable with a central door, a window on each side, and two windows above, all featuring timber lintels. The second set of stairs to the left leads to a loft door. Beyond the stable is a long range that has two upper windows and two rows of approximately twenty paired dove holes below, along with a ground floor door accessed by steps. This area is obscured by a 20th-century lean-to, which contains a vent loop, a door, and two loops. The rear wall facing the drive has dove-openings and various blocked doors and windows with cut-stone voussoirs, indicating that the building may have originally faced north.

Inside the eastern end stable, there is a timber arcade of former stalls. The two main ground floor rooms to the west feature massive beams, and the roofs throughout are collar-truss with bolted collars.

The yard is enclosed by a rubble stone wall that runs east and includes two Cilgerran stone gatepiers with fluted friezes, cornices, and pyramid caps. The double iron gates have top-rails that ramp down to a meeting stile and curved strengthening bars, resembling the gates at Glandovan Lodge. Another pair of gatepiers, similar in design and one topped with a ball finial, flank the drive to the north.
