Description
Garden House is a garden house likely built in the late 19th century or early 20th century, located on the east side of a rectangular garden, slightly south of the gate. It is constructed of yellow brick and has a single storey with a clay tile roof. The facade features trellis work that matches the opposite panel. The central entrance has a five-ribbed door, flanked by plain sash windows. Each opening and the corners of the building are highlighted by full-height slender wooden pilasters, with relief flower decoration on those at the door and corners. Above the windows and door, there is diagonal trellis work that contrasts with the overall rectangular pattern. Below the windows, there are timber window boxes that are also decorated. The door lintel is adorned with five carved trefoil arches.
