What is recorded here

L-plan multiple-bay one-and-half-storey outbuilding, c. 1860, to south-west of the former Mount Trenchard country house. Pitched slate roof having replacement rainwater goods, red brick chimneystacks, limestone eaves course, rooflights, decorative timber bargeboards to gables, gabled dormer with inset clock and cut limestone bellcote. Random coursed hammer-dressed limestone walls having cut limestone quoins. Square-headed openings with red brick voussoirs and surrounds, limestone sills and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and timber framed windows. Square-headed openings having half-glazed timber panelled door.
This outbuilding forms part of the Mount Trenchard demesne. There is an interesting textural variety in the mixture of hammer-dressed limestone to the walls with the red brick surrounds to the window openings. Artistic interest is added with the timber bargeboards, the timber fishscale infill in the apex of the dormer windows, the bellcote and the roof clock. Added together, these decorative features mark this building out among the buildings in the former Mount Trenchard demesne.
