Description
Garden House is a house that was formerly used for the gardener, built in the late 19th century. The ground floor is made of red brick, while the upper storey is rendered and whitewashed, featuring ornamental half-timbering. The building has a half-hipped roof with patterned tiling and brick chimneys that have offset heads and 'V' pilasters. It is designed in a picturesque L-shape and consists of two storeys with two bays on the front, the right bay projecting.
The windows are three-light transomed wooden casements, with the left window on the ground floor featuring a gauged head and a Tudor hoodmould. The right bay has an upper storey that slightly jetties on small moulded brackets and includes a two-storey bay window, which is canted on the ground floor and rectangular on the first floor. A porch is set diagonally between the bays and has a gable with carved bargeboards supported by tapering wooden Mannerist piers adorned with drapes, tassels, and volute capitals. The porch features a half-glazed door.
To the right, there is a 20th-century brick porch and an original single-storey brick wing with carved bargeboards on its gable, which is set back. The building is included for its group value.
