What is recorded here

Farmyard complex to Mount Butler, built c.1810, comprising L-plan range of two-storey outbuildings to north-east of yard, single-storey former animal byres to south and a small stable yard with coach house to west. Mount Butler no longer survives. Pitched and half-hipped slate roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods. Random coursed limestone and sandstone walls with some remains of lime render. Variety of window and door openings. Limestone piers support brick arches to byres. Stable yard accessed through pedimented arched opening flanked by screen walls with blind arches. Two-storey coach house with ashlar limestone carriage arch is flanked by twin round-headed door openings. Cast-iron former entrance gates and railings to Mount Butler survive to roadside.
Although Mount Butler no longer survives, the extensive farmyard complex, stables and coach house remain as a physical reminder of the former house and estate. Many original features survive which contribute to the character and architectural significance of the structures.
