Description
Range of L-plan multiple-bay two-storey outbuildings, built c.1740, arranged around central courtyard, having gabled half-dormers with loft doors positioned off-centre to both ranges. Three-bay single-storey outbuilding to west of eastern block. Now disused. Slate roof having hipped end to south and gable end to east, rendered chimneystack to gable, sections of cast-iron rain water goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Squared-headed door openings and square-headed window openings beneath eaves to west side of north range. Wide elliptical-arched and square-headed machinery openings to east side of north range and east range. Sheeted timber doors, half-glazed panelled door to west bay, and fixed multiple pane windows. Later external metal steps to loft openings. Bounded by low rendered walls having square-profile gate piers with pyramidal capstones.
Appraisal
A complex of outbuildings formerly associated with Cullies House, an eighteenth-century country house which was demolished c.1980 and replaced by a modern dwelling. The complex is a good example of the scale and form of domestic outbuildings associated with a country house in the eighteenth and ninteenth centuries. The complex retains much of its historic form and fabric, and the west side of the north range may have been used as accommodation for workers.
