Description
The Pheasant House in Lyme Park is a pheasant house built around 1870 for William Legh. It is constructed from coursed buff sandstone rubble with rock-faced brown sandstone dressings. The building features a low pyramidical roof made of Welsh slate, topped with a false central stone chimney. It is a single-storey structure with a square plan, surrounded by a lean-to arcade supported by cast-iron columns on stone bases. The north and south faces each have two store doors, which are framed with long and short quoining and a lintel. The east and west faces have similar surrounds for a pair of tilting iron windows.
