Details Former telegraph room and telephone exchange, now in use as a surgery, built in 1861 by Beaton. It is a small, single-storey, gabled building with Tudor details, sited to the east of the stables (NJ29NE0065), and is constructed from stugged, coursed granite with a base course and polished dressings. The graded grey slate roof has gablet coped skews with kneelers and scroll-bracketed skewputts, ball finials and a stone stack to the centre of the ridge. The west gable has chamfered arrises to a two-leaf hoodmoulded door at the centre with flanking blind gunloops and a blank shield in the gablehead. The south elevation has a panelled door at the centre with a letterbox fanlight, flanked by windows. The north elevation has a blind arrowslit at the centre, flanked by windows, and the east gable has two blind arrowslits.
