Details Game larder, still in use, built by George Truefitt in the later 19th century. It is a single storey, T-plan game larder constructed from tooled, coursed granite rubble with ladder snecking, rough-faced long and short dressings that are finely finished to the margins, sloping cills, overhanging eaves, predominantly single-pane mesh covered window openings, a piended purple-grey slate roof with fishscale banding and lead ridges and a shouldered, coped granite wallhead stack to the north-east, and a corrugated-asbestos roof to the lean-tos. The asymmetrical south-east elevation is five-bay, with an advanced centre bay with a four-light bipartite window and windows and a dormer breaking the pitch to the return elevations. A two-light window flanks the central bay to the east, with a stained glass, timber lean-to to the outer east beyond. To the east is a panelled timber door with mesh upper panels, a six-light window and a piend-roofed, four-light horizontal dormer with a timber finial to the ridge. The north-east elevation is single-bay, with a seven-light stained glass timber lean-to on a granite wall. The north-west elevation is also asymmetrical and five-bay, with a three-light window to the centre bay, flanked at both sides by two boarded timber doors, one with mesh panels. There is a six-light window to the outer west, and a two-light window flanked to the north by a stained-glass timber lean-to. At the ridge is a piend-roofed, four-light horizontal dormer with a timber finial. The south-west elevation is single-bay, with a timber notice board and leaflet box. Inside there are four principal rooms and a small room below the lean-to, a decorative row of tiles and larder hooks and pulleys etc. in place.
