Description

This outbuilding, located immediately north-west of Tadworthy House, was converted into a gazebo and dates from the late 18th century, with an extension added in the early 19th century. It is constructed of plastered cob and stone rubble, with the west side of the tower being slate-hung. The building features a slate roof with a gabled end and a pyramidal hipped roof over the tower, which has a rendered stack on the east side. The outbuilding has a small two-storey rectangular plan, and in the early 19th century, an additional two storeys were added to the east end, creating a square-plan tower with one room on each floor. External stone stairs on the east side lead to the lower of the two rooms. The structure includes plank doors. The tower has two small four-pane casements on the south side and two horizontally sliding sashes with glazing bars on the north side. Inside, the two rooms in the tower are equipped with fireplaces.
