Square-headed openings having half-glazed timber panelled door.
Appraisal
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.
