Two Gardenhouses, About 8 Metres North of Dovecote, Snowshill Manor

The two garden houses, located about 8 meters north of the dovecote at Snowshill Manor, are former cowhouses that date from the late 18th century to the early to mid 19th century. They were altered, likely between 1919 and 1923, by C.P. Wade. The buildings feature random rubble walls with larger quoins, oak posts, and a stone slate roof. They consist of four and three bays and were originally open-fronted, positioned at right angles to each other and joined at the corner, with one building partly lofted.

On the left, there is a later building with an end gable wall, a low sill wall that partly retains the garden, made of thin rubble, and above it are oak sills and paired posts supporting the wallplate. Inside, there is a stone sett floor, and each gable has a door leading to a former feeding passage. The roof structure includes a central tie-beam and collar truss, with tie beams and raking struts on each side, and no principal rafters; there is one pair of purlins and a plank ridge.

To the right is the earlier building, which has a central doorway and a low sill wall with posts supporting the wallplate on each side, along with an end gable wall. Above the arch in the gabled dormer, there are framed Roman Doric pilasters and a pediment. The interior features a stone sett floor, a three-bay roof with collar and tie beam trusses, one pair of butt purlins, and a plank ridge, with a loft at the right-hand end. The front walls, along with the current oak framing and dormer, were added by C.P. Wade. These garden houses form a group with the dovecote and the Manor House.
