Description
The Reed House is a garden building located in the grounds of Honing Hall, dating from the early 19th century. It is constructed of Flemish bond brick and features a conical roof made of Norfolk reed. The building has a circular plan and includes a wide, full-height entrance supported by a central rustic column. Inside, the walls and the saucer-domed timber roof are also clad in Norfolk reed, and there are benches that offer a view towards Honing Church. The Reed House was built before 1816 as part of Humphry Repton's plans to extend the park and create a western drive. It is noted as a rare example of 'primitive' or 'rustic' garden architecture.
