Description

The building is a former icehouse located approximately 10 metres southeast of Cassey Compton House. It is constructed of coursed squared and dressed limestone with a stone slate roof. The attached wall is partly made of ashlar and partly of coursed squared and dressed limestone. The icehouse has a rectangular plan and features a staggered wall that extends about 7 metres towards the canal to the south. It stands at 1½ storeys tall and has a plank door at the west gable end, along with a small plank door leading to a loft above. The north wall has three raking buttresses, and the gable ends are asymmetrical. Inside, there is a barrel vault in the semi-subterranean ground floor room. The wall includes a central blocked single width doorway in the section nearest the canal, with a blocked window to the left. This section of the wall likely served as a garden wall that once extended south from the southeast corner of the now-demolished part of the house. The wall to the left probably formed part of the house wall, featuring an ashlar outer face. An engraving from around 1712 by Kip in Atkyn's History of Gloucestershire depicts this structure.
