Gazebo And Retaining Wall To South West Of Achards

The gazebo and its attached retaining wall, located to the southwest of Achards, date from the mid-18th century. The structure features roughcast render, an ashlar chimney, and a stone slate roof. It is square in shape and built into a bank, with a cellar beneath. The gazebo has a moulded cornice at the eaves of its hipped roof, which includes a central octagonal chimney. The render displays patterning at the corners.

On the east side, there is a doorway with a bolection moulded architrave topped by a broken pediment, which features an egg above a pulvinated frieze, leading to a six-panel fielded door. The west side has a window with a moulded architrave and a bull-nosed sill, containing a 24-pane sash with thick glazing bars. A plain floor level band is present, along with un-rendered random rubble visible in the cellar below, which has a central plank door. A blocked window with a moulded architrave and bull-nosed sill can be found on the north side.

Inside, there is an early 19th-century fireplace located centrally on the south wall, and 19th-century cupboards on the east wall. The gazebo is built into a high retaining wall that forms the forecourt to the west of Achards.
