Description
The gazebo and garden terrace wall located immediately to the southeast of Bayfield House were built in 1870 by the architect G.E. Street. The structure is made of slate rubble with limestone dressings. The gazebo features a conical slate roof and has a circular plan. It includes a shouldered doorway that faces the house, along with stone-framed windows, one of which is an oriel window with a central colonette that overlooks the gorge. A stone cornice with carved fleurettes runs below the eaves.
Inside, there is a wood panelled ceiling. The garden terrace wall runs parallel to the rear of Bayfield House and extends towards the front at the gable end, where it opens up for a flight of steps adorned with ornate balustrading. There is also a semi-circular projection in front of each of the turrets at this end of the house.
