Appraisal
This collection of outbuildings is sited between Daly’s Grove country house and the walled garden, making it an important part of the estate. The formal design and closeness to Daly’s Grove house suggests that this was a well planned and significant farmyard. These stone buildings are simply detailed and well constructed, retain their original form and are an indicator of the prosperity of the estate.
