Garden House Including Adjoining Steps And Wall Linking To Double Gatepiers East Side

The garden house, including adjoining steps and a wall linking to double gate piers, is located on the east side of Hooton Pagnell Hall. It was likely built between 1912 and 1923 by Granville Streatfeild for Sarah Julia Warde-Aldam. The structure is made of red brick and snecked rubble limestone, topped with a Cotswold stone slate roof. This rectangular, single-room building features a loggia and stack projections, designed in the Arts and Crafts style.

The single-storey building has an undercroft, with the entrance front on the east side showcasing a loggia to the left. This loggia has end piers and arch-braced posts that support an extension to the hipped roof, which features slated gablits. Within the loggia, there is a double door framed by moulded quoins and a Tudor-arched lintel. To the right, a plain wall with a hipped roof is set back and includes a crow-stepped gabled projection. This projection has a lateral stack with an offset base and a quoined shaft topped with a cornice. The left return, facing south, displays a brick facade with a Tudor-arched doorway to the left of an 8-light, double-chamfered, mullioned window with iron casements. There is also an unglazed 2-light window into the loggia on the right.

Inside, the garden house features an inglenook fireplace with coving above, exposed rubble walls, and heavy-scantling roof trusses.

Adjoining the right side of the entrance front, a set of steps descends to the rear, bordered by contemporary garden walls with moulded copings. The wall to the left of the entrance front ends at double gate piers that have quoins and broad cornices with ball finials. The shorter inner piers support wrought-iron gates adorned with scrolls and floral motifs. An unsigned plan dated 1912 exists in the estate office, and plans for associated garden structures are attributed to Streatfeild, dated between 1914 and 1923.
