Description
The octagonal store, originally built as a dairy around 1790 for Marden Hill House, is now used as a garden store and summer house. It is constructed of red brick and features a tiled roof. The building has an octagonal shape with a plinth, and on the garden-facing side, there is a round-headed opening flanked by 20th-century two-light casement windows. Attached to the right of the store is a red brick wall that extends approximately 40 meters towards the Cottage. The lower sections of this wall are likely from the 17th century, while the upper parts were renewed in the 18th century and later, reaching a height of about 3 meters.
