Description
The Boathouse to Middle Pond at Busbridge Lakes is an early 19th-century structure. It is cement rendered with wood mouldings and has pantiled roofs. The boathouse is rectangular with its gable end facing the lake, featuring a roundel in the tympanum and an arched opening below, surrounded by trellis outer walls. There is a single-storey range at right angles to the boathouse, supported by three thin columns at the front, with a planked door and window behind. A small stack is located at the end. The shore front has a pedimented gable end with blank panels and two pointed blocked wooden doorways.
Inside, the boathouse includes ashlar quays with a rounded end and steps, as well as a room that features an early 19th-century marble mantelpiece. This boathouse is part of a series of landscape buildings in a Romantic Garden designed by Philip Cartaret Webb between 1748 and 1770. It is mentioned in Neale's "Seats of the Nobility and Gentry" and the garden is now recognized as a site of Historic Interest in the Register of Parks and Gardens of Special Historic Interest in England.
