Former pheasantry, converted to residential use in 1920, later used as a school and now in use as an estate building, built in 1884 and commissioned by John Campbell Hamilton-Gordon for use as a pheasantry/hen house. It is a long single-storey and part basement, 29-bay, rectangular-plan, classically-detailed pheasantry with polygonal roof ridge dovecotes that is constructed from polychrome brick with granite cills, base and band courses and round-headed openings. Four- and six-pane glazing pattern is used in timber sash and case windows. The graded grey slate roof has scallop-edged lead at the ridge, coped brick stacks with cans, deeply overhanging eaves and cast-iron downpipes with decorative fixings. There is a weathervane finial to a central gabled bay that breaks the eaves on the principal south-west elevation.
