Gardeners Cottage Adjoining Kitchen Garden Walls Approximately 210 Metres To North West Of Glenthorne

Gardeners Cottage, adjoining kitchen garden walls, is located approximately 210 metres to the north-west of Glenthorne. It dates from around 1829 and is likely the work of the Reverend W. S. Halliday, with some late 20th-century alterations to the house. The kitchen garden walls are made of uncoursed sand rubble, with some red brick dressings, while the cottage itself is constructed of uncoursed sand rubble with some ashlar and features a gable-ended scantle-slate roof.

The walls enclose a rectangular garden that is aligned approximately north-west to south-east, and there were formerly lean-to greenhouses against the inside of the north-east wall. The cottage is attached to the north-east wall at the north corner and is designed in an L-plan, facing north-east. It has a lateral stone stack at the rear of the main range and a porch in the angle of the front wing. The cottage is two storeys high.

The walls feature boarded doors in the centre of the north-east side and a buttress to the north-east with a brick archway beneath and slate coping. The cottage has a symmetrical two-window front with a gabled wing projecting to the right. The first floor features early 19th-century two-light wooden casements with octagonal pattern glazing bars and flat stone-arched heads, with the left-hand window having a small parapeted gable above. On the ground floor, there is a canted bay to the right with 1:3:1 lights, also with octagonal pattern glazing bars and a hipped slate roof. A late 20th-century plate-glass window has been inserted on the left side.

The entrance is located in the return of the wing, with a porch that consists of a 19th-century boarded door with a stone lintel and a coped stepped parapeted gable above. The interior of the cottage has not been inspected. This cottage serves as the kitchen garden for Glenthorne, which was begun in 1829 for the Reverend W. S. Halliday.
