Cooling House built into the slope in front of the house. Probably early or mid 19th century. Consists of a small stone-walled chamber of oblong plan with a barrel-vaulted stone roof. Two stone steps rise to the doorway, which has plain granite jambs and a cranked head made of a single piece of granite. On the outside of the right-hand jamb are 2 iron crooks for hinges. A flight of 6 shallow steps lead up to ground level, some of the steps faced with large, roughly-shaped pieces of granite.
