The 19th century l-shaped outbuildings to the southeast of 'Blachford' House originally enclosed a narrow rectangular courtyard. The south and west ranges have been demolished as well as the north end of the east range. The remaining buildings of granite and slate rubble were surveyed in 2003 and included the stables and the remains of the kennels. The buildings incorporated several examples of reused 16th century and 17th century carved stone.
The outbuildings covered in this report were inserted into the court at the eastern end of the house sometime before 1842, when this part of the house was reduced in status by the creation of the present south front.
Report features detailed phased description of the development of the buildings in this complex. The function of these buildings is difficult to interpret, due to the lack of remains but they probably served a domestic function due to their proximity to the house. The enclosed courtyard may have served as a horse exercise yard in the later phases and kennels were also included in the complex.
