Description
Gamelarder, located 20 meters south of Keeper's Cottage, was built around 1800 in the Gothick style. It features a timber frame covered with beaded weatherboarding and has a plinth made of red brick. The building has a thatched pyramidal roof and an octagonal shape. Each of its eight faces includes a pointed Y-traceried unglazed window with horizontal slats. Inside each window, there are two flush panelled hinged shutters with pointed tops. The north side has a boarded stable-type door, which is topped by a transom featuring a slatted Y-traceried fanlight that matches the windows. The interior remains largely unchanged, with hanging hooks and shelving present.
