Outbuilding in Piercefield

Complex of two detached single-storey four and five-bay outbuildings, built c.1820 arranged around a courtyard. Pitched natural slate roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods. Constructed of coursed rubble limestone with cut limestone trim to openings. Four segmental-headed carriage arch openings with cut stone voussoirs and remains of timber sheeted double-doors to outbuilding to west. Square-headed openings with remains of timber fittings to outbuilding to north. Pair of limestone gate piers on square plan with cut stone coping over and pair of decorative cast-iron gates to east. Set back from road in own grounds.

An attractive pair of early nineteenth-century outbuildings retaining their early form and character. Although modest in form, these outbuildings are well constructed using good quality local limestone. The good gate piers and decorative cast-iron gate to the east complete this appealing composition.
