outbuilding — MOUNTHALL matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This complex of modest single-storey outbuildings was originally built to serve Mounthall House, the remains of which stand to the north of the site. They are well-built using local rubble stone masonry and retain much of their early fabric including natural slate roofs that add to their integrity. The contrast between the rubble stone masonry and the red brick detailing to the openings to the outbuilding to the east of the complex creates an attractive tonal variation. The scale of these outbuildings provides an interesting historical insight into the resources required to run and maintain a medium-scale… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
