This may be the building described by Waterhouse as a dairy house with a possible secondary function as a pleasure house. The building, dated to 1600-1623, faced onto the public road from Frogmore to Sherford. The ground floor is partly sunk into the ground and the first floor had a fireplace and large cream oven and was lit by four large windows giving views in all directions. At the rear of the building were steps up to the first floor and also a mounting block.
