Full Description

This building, located in woodland to the north of Conon House, was recorded by Meryl Marshall of NOSAS in 2019. It is In quite good order although the windows have been broken making it open to the weather. The ridge of the roof has air vents along it and the upper windows open in a “hopper” style to aid ventilation. The building measures 11m x 5m overall and has two timber lined rooms with many of the original fittings still surviving although some are in are in poor condition; a masonry and metal boiler with brick built chimney, four sinks with a channel leading to a drain beneath, fitted cupboards or “presses” and cast iron stoves. There is also an assorted collection of debris comprising old beds, defunct heaters, wooden boxes(?pheasant rearing) and tables. A well is marked a few metres to the southeast of the building on the 2nd Edition OS map of 1904 but its position is under dense rhododendrons and it was not located. <1>
