Appraisal
This attractive outbuilding, of late nineteenth century appearance, retains its original form and character. Its visual appeal and integrity are enhanced by the retention of salient fabric such as the natural slate roof and the battened timber doors. The contrast between the rubble stone walls and the red brick surrounds to the openings is a characteristic feature of many outbuildings of its type and date, and adds an attractive tonal and textural variation to this building. This building represents a relatively intact example of its type and date, and is an attractive feature on the rural landscape to the east of Manorcunningham. This building was originally associated with a now altered two-storey house of contemporary date to the south. It is the most intact building in a courtyard of structures arranged around a courtyard, and is an addition to the built heritage of the local area.
