The Bothy

The Bothy is an 18th-century gardener's house, with later alterations. It is constructed of stucco scored to resemble ashlar, with a Welsh slate roof and stucco stacks. The building is two storeys high and arranged with three bays across and two bays deep. It features a plinth, a platt band, and an eaves string below a hollow-moulded cornice. The windows are 12-pane sash windows set in reveals with projecting sills. A hipped roof tops the structure, and lateral stacks are present. The entrance is on the right side, within a 20th-century porch, and faces the kitchen garden wall.

Inside, the house retains panelled window shutters, simply-moulded fireplace surrounds, with one surviving iron grate on the ground floor, splat balusters to the staircase, and two-panel first-floor doors with H-L hinges.

The Bothy sits alongside The Orangery and is flanked by kitchen garden walls. It represents an unusually well-preserved example of an 18th-century gardener's house.
