GARDENS AND GROUNDS.

This impressive looking property is accessed through a blonde sandstone archway.

The main stable building dates from 1820 and the remainder presumably dates from the 1740s. A number of small `cot-houses` were located at the bottom of the courtyard, the external doors have long been blocked up and only the external walls are left.

At the front of the stables are three Staddle Stones, missing their tops. Staddle Stones were originally used to raise tithe barns and granaries off the ground.

This kept the produce from spoilage by damp, and also prevented mice and other vermin from interfering with it, as they couldn`t climb past the staddle stone caps. These Cunninghamhead staddle stones are rare survivors.

The doo-cot or dovecot that was above the entrance was a feature of estates, as the right to build a doo-cot was strictly limited to the major landowners initially, and only later were small freeholders permitted to build them; at a more recent date tenants could sometimes gain permission from their landlord to build doo-cots for the meat or to add a picturesque feature to their properties

To the front and side of this are garden grounds made up mainly of a lawned areas with mature trees and shrubs.

Passing through the archway takes you into a large courtyard.

There are 4 stables, a double garage, two lawned areas bordered by various shrubs and trees. There is also a lower cobbled area.
