Description

The Bothy is a gardener's cottage built around 1900, located in Tyntesfield Park. It is constructed of red brick in Flemish bond and features clay plain tile roofs with rendered end gables. The building has brick axial stacks topped with stone caps, cornices, and tall yellow clay pots. The plan is L-shaped with the entrance situated at the angle.

The exterior is single-storey. On the southwest front, the right wing has a rendered gable supported by small shaped timber brackets above a 4-light casement window with glazing bars. There is a porch at the angle with a flat canopy held up by bulbous Tuscan columns and pilasters. The left end has a large brick gable with moulded stone coping and cornices on the corner piers, along with a large round arch window featuring a keystone and a multi-pane window frame with a fanlight. The southeast gable end mirrors the design of the front.

The interior has not been inspected. This building is a notable example of a late Victorian estate cottage in the Domestic Revival style.
