Took over the southern end of the former cattle sanatorium. Some of the buildings relating to Maynard's Toffee Factory still survive, despite a fire in the early 1990s. Although roofless, they retain much of their detail including the fenestration using segmental arched lintels. Nestled between the buildings is a tall brick chimney.
