Boathouse and Causeway Approximately 100 Metres North West of Maer Hall

The boathouse and attached causeway, located approximately 100 meters north-west of Maer Hall, date from the mid-to-late 19th century. It is possibly designed by T.H. Mawson, who created the gardens for F.J. Harrison at Maer Hall in the late 19th century. The structure is built from rock-faced sandstone ashlar. The causeway is about 20 meters long, leading from a balustrade and turning to the left at the north-west end, beneath which is the boathouse. The causeway features one round-headed arch on both sides, with steps over the top, and has two round arches with a short flight of steps on the south side. The boathouse itself has narrow round arches on the north-west and south sides, along with a wide round-arched boat entrance facing north. It has a flat roof with a low parapet that is accessible from the causeway. Originally, the boathouse and causeway were situated in the lake, but the water has since receded to the north-west, requiring boats to be pulled a short distance across the lawn.
