| Details |
Late 19th century polygonal dairy and associated cottage. The dairy is a single storey polygonal building, with lined out harled timber lath. Internally the dairy retains its stone flag floor and slate work benches. Single storey square-plan ancillary building adjoined to east by open timber corridor adjoins the Dairy. This building has shelving for storage. The cottage is single storey and 3-bay, weatherboarded with painted timber diamond lattice screen to north and east elevations. It is 2-roomed and retains original panelling. The cottage and dairy have a very distinctive appearance in terms of their form and materials used. As well as being the only buildings to survive from this second estate complex, these buildings also display traditional features of the area, and retain much of their original character. The use of weatherboarding and diamond lattice work is also a particular feature of the buildings of this period on the Mar Estate. Depicted on the OS map of 1867. By the 1888 several more buildings are depicted and an icehouse at circa NO1080 8934. All are enclosed by a head dyke and there are a series of trackways through the woods surrounding them.
