Description
Garden House is a house from the late 18th century with 19th-century alterations. It is built from coursed rubble and features a pantiled roof with brick chimney stacks. The house is two storeys high and has three windows. The façade includes alternating quoins, a four flush-panelled door with an overlight, a four-pane sash window to the left, a 20th-century bow window, and a four-pane sash window to the right. Above, there are three 12-pane horizontal-sliding sash windows. The roof is steeply pitched with raised verges, and there is a rendered left end stack, a ridge stack made of hand-made brick, and a rebuilt right end stack. A 16-pane sash window is set high on the left return. At the back, there is a one-storey outshut and a mid-19th-century flat-roofed stair wing that features a 16-pane sash window.
