Description
The gazebo in the garden of Fawnlees House dates from the mid-18th century and is constructed of coursed squared sandstone with tooled ashlar dressings. It features a stone-flagged roof with stone copings and a finial. The adjoining wall is made of coursed rubble with a flat coping. The gazebo is two storeys high and has one bay.
On the ground floor, there is an arched recess facing the garden, which has rusticated voussoirs, a keystone, and impost blocks on rusticated jambs. The first-floor round-headed window has a similar surround and broad intersecting glazing bars. Quoins in a similar style are present only on the first floor. The roof is pyramidal and hipped with swept eaves, featuring stone kneelers above the eaves on each ridge, and is topped with a large acorn finial and a pennant-shaped bronze wind-vane.
Inside the recess, there is a stone bench, and in front of it stands an oval stone pedestal table. The stepped walls flanking the gazebo continue around the vegetable garden at the rear, which includes a heated wall.
