Description
Early C19 'Gothick' style garden building, possibly a summer house. Built when the Braddick family owned Boughton Mount.
MATERIALS: it is constructed of random rubble Kentish ragstone from local quarries.
PLAN: L-shaped in plan with a higher central square tower.
EXTERIOR: the north side has a taller central section with a dogtooth cornice, a band consisting of a course of projecting stone rubble and a number of putlog holes. The east side has two pointed arched entrances which have been blocked in late C20 or early C21 brickwork. The west side has a small round-headed window opening mainly blocked in brick. The exterior was partly concealed by vegetation at the time of survey.
INTERIOR: photographs show an arched internal north passage roof with rough projecting stones, a circular roof aperture and an internal chamber.
