Description
The boat house by Tabley Mere is a late 18th-century structure built from red English garden wall bond brick with stone dressings, and it is currently roofless. Designed in a Gothick style, the building is single-storey. The lake front features a central semi-circular archway flanked by slightly projecting battered towers, each with stone-surrounded, blind cross-shaped arrow loops. Above the archway is a brick band supported by projecting headers, leading to a ruined parapet. The sides of the boat house are similar, with central vertical slits. At the rear, the boat house adjoins a weir bridge, and the entrance is accessible from the bridge. There are lateral arched doorways with raised brick quoins, which are now bricked up, and a 20th-century parapeted wall is situated between them.
