The Garden House

The Garden House is a house from the early 19th century with later extensions. It is constructed of flint and random brick, featuring mainly pale brick dressings and a hipped low pitch pantile roof with a central ridge stack. The building has a lobby-entry plan that faces the garden and is two storeys high. It has a two-window range of fine ornamental three-light wooden casements with metal glazing frames that create a margin frame effect. The ground floor has similar larger casements, but these include transoms and are set under brick cambered arches. The central entrance features a four-panel door. To the left end facing the road, there are similar casements, but a large 20th-century conservatory obscures part of the front. The current entrance is located within this conservatory. There is also a greenhouse on the right end and a slightly later brick extension at the rear. Inside, there is a winder stair, plank doors, and a ladder stair to part of the building. The fitted cupboard in the sitting room has a moulded architrave and an arched recess with a shaped back. The Garden House is a picturesque and largely unaltered example of a gardener's cottage from its period.
