Appraisal
These are the former extensive stable yard and farmyard buildings of Stradone House, built in the period 1828-1835 by J. B. Keane (d.1859) for Major Burrowes. The house was burnt in the 1920s and subsequently demolished, though the stable yards survive. A gate lodge at the entrance to the demesne, also by Keane, remains. The outbuildings retain much of their original form, materials and detailing. The gate lodge and large scale outbuildings are indicators of the scale and grandeur of Stradone House.
