Garden House

Garden House is a house dating from the late 17th century to early 18th century. It features a part one-and-a-half storeys and part single-storey design, with a two-cell lobby-entrance plan and a later extension. The structure is timber-framed and rendered, topped with a thatched roof that is hipped over the single-storey extension on the north side and gabled on the south side.

The ground storey has two small casement windows with external plank shutters, and there is one two-light casement window above. The entrance features a slightly recessed plank door. Inside, the building has a plain frame with five bays that are fully exposed. It includes single-height studs bisected by primary braces, joists set on edge, and no tie-beams to the intermediate trusses. The roof is substantial, comprising five bays that are ceiled-off at collar level, with principal rafters set on edge, one row of slightly-stepped butt purlins, and common rafters set flat.
