Description
The Aviary is a building from the late 1830s and 1840s, constructed as a one-storey range of stock brick that faces a walkway. The roof is hipped at the center, with flanking blocks that each feature three gabled breaks adorned with pierced bargeboards. The building includes four-centred chamfered arch doorways. The right-hand block has a porch with a decorated bargeboard, while the left-hand block features a canted bay glazed porch with four-centred arch mullioned lights. Above the center of each flanking block, there are louvred ventilators with bargeboards and large drop finials at the eaves. The central section has a hipped slate roof with deep flat eaves and a rectangular bay window containing seven lights with four-centred arched lights, flanked by Gothic panelled and glazed doors. The overall design is picturesque.
