Random rubble limestone boundary walls having segmental arched entrance gateway of ashlar limestone with imposts and coping surmounted by elaborate ashlar bellcote with carved limestone volutes and round-arched bellcote supporting a carved limestone eagle. Extensive ranges of outbuildings having U-plan yard at north end of complex with hipped slate roofs and roughcast rendered walls with segmental brick arched carriage entrances with render keystones. Seven-bay single-storey outbuilding with rendered piers supporting arches and L-plan two-storey outbuildings with brick chimneys. Triple-pile lofted single-storey outbuildings to south-west with pitched slate roofs and rendered walls.
Appraisal
A fine complex of outbuildings serving the now demolished Kingswell House, in largely intact condition with many original features. The arcade to one of the buildings is of particular interest, as is the elaborate entrance gateway to the complex.
