Appraisal
Originally part of a larger demesne complex, this outbuilding is all that remains of Kitsborough House. It retains its original form, and features such as the integral carriage arch and elliptical openings add much to its character. The scale, form and design give an indication of the scale and prosperity of the house it once served.
