Description

The Garden House is a house built around 1820 to 1830, with later alterations and additions. It features painted roughcast walls, ashlar dressings, and roofs made of Scottish and Welsh slate.

The original structure consists of a two-storey central block with later single-storey wings. The central block has three bays, a chamfered plinth, and rusticated quoins. There is a 20th-century central door set in a raised surround, flanked by 12-pane sash windows also in raised surrounds. The block has later 19th-century moulded wood cornices with dentils and decorative brackets at the corners. The hipped roof is topped with two square stone corniced stacks. On the left side, there is an early 19th-century octagonal porch featuring a flush-panelled door and flanking 8-pane sashes.

To the right, there is a four-bay wing that has rusticated quoins and 12-pane sashes in raised surrounds. It also features a chamfered ashlar cornice and a gabled Welsh slate roof with kneelers and flat coping, along with two tall corniced ridge stacks. The similar three-bay wing to the left does not have a chimney.
