Description
Complex of outbuildings arranged around a courtyard to the east of Reynella House, built c.1770, comprising a seven-bay two-storey structure with a central segmental-headed carriage arch and hipped corrugated metal roof and a two-storey range on L-shaped plan with a natural slate roof. Now in use as domestic outbuildings. Lime rendered walls over rubble stone construction. Square-headed window openings throughout with timber sash windows. Two segmental-headed carriage-arches to south side of L-shaped structure. Remains of timber battened doors to door openings and double timber battened doors to carriage-arches.
Appraisal
An attractive and substantial complex of late eighteenth-century outbuildings associated with Reynella House. They are well-built and retain much of their early fabric including timber sash windows and early lime rendering, which is a rare survival. Although these buildings are functional in nature they also display a high level of architectural finishing and design. These outbuildings remain an important element of the Reynella House Demesne and help provide an insight into the extensive resources required to run and maintain a large country estate during the late eighteenth and nineteenth century.
