Description
Detached six-bay two-storey building, built c.1820, having a projecting full-height canted bay window to southwest end of the main elevation (southeast). Now used for storage for adjacent hospital. Hipped natural slate roof with clay ridge tiles, a projecting cut limestone eaves course and a single brick chimneystack with rendered finish over. Constructed of coursed rubble limestone with (flush) dressed limestone quoins to the corners. Square-headed window openings with (flush) cut-stone block-and-start surrounds and replacement windows. Round-headed openings with brick surrounds and remains of timber sash windows to canted bay windows. Square-headed door openings with remains of timber panelled doors. Square-headed overlight above doorcase to the centre of the main façade (southeast). Set in extensive courtyard of outbuildings to the southwest of Kinturk House (15302016).
Appraisal
An interesting building which retains its original form and has some good carved stonework and architectural details. The double-height canted bay window suggests that this building was used for something relatively important within the farmyard/outbuilding complex. The large chimneystack and the number of fireplaces to interior indicates that this may have been the residence of the farm manager or someone important within the running of the former Kinturk House Demesne (15302016). This building forms part of a large courtyard of buildings and outbuildings located just to the south of the Kinturk House and is a significant part of the architectural heritage of the area.
