It was built in circa 1796, and was originally built as the coach house and stable block for Midmar Castle (NJ70NW0012), and was known as Barnyards of Midmar, before being converted into a house in 1965-6. It was then renovated in the 1970s, and there were further alterations in the 1990s. It is shown on the 1st edition OS map as a quadrangular stables and is depicted as 'Barnyards'. There is a narrow central entrance and round projections at the north and south ends of the east range.

Current maps show the north and part of the west range of the stables are now unroofed, and it is now named The Manor House. The building to the west is ruined, with the south wall no longer remaining, one of the building to the south has been removed and the southernmost building remains, now named Midmar Cottage.

The south and east ranges are in residential use, with the sections of the north and west ranges that are covered used as stores.
