Description
Garden House is a house dating from the late 17th century or early 18th century, with 19th-century additions to the rear. It is built of rendered random rubble and features a moderate-pitched 20th-century pantiled roof with renewed brick gable stacks. The house is two rooms deep and has a staircase at the rear. It stands three storeys tall and has five bays. The central door consists of six flush panels, an overlight, stone jambs, and a wedge lintel. On either side of the door, there are 19th-century four-pane sash windows with chamfered reveals. The first-floor four-pane sashes have stone sills, except for the central window, while the second-floor windows have been renewed. The facade is flanked by two-storey pilaster buttresses at each end. The eaves are slightly projecting with a plain close verge, and the gable copings were added in the 20th century. The right side of the building features a renewed round-arched staircase window towards the rear, with a small 20th-century lunette window above it. The rear elevation is two storeys high.
Inside, the house has been mainly gutted, but several doors still retain two flush panels. A 18th-century dog-leg staircase rises in four flights and features splat balusters.
Adjoining to the left is a 20th-century Garden Cottage, which is not of special interest.
