Garden Cottages

Garden Cottages, originally an orangery and fruit house, were built in the late 18th century or early 19th century, likely designed by John Foss of Richmond for the D'Arcy Hutton family. The structure is made of coursed dressed sandstone and features stone slate roofs. It has a half-ellipse plan with one and two storeys, arranged in a pattern of 1:3:2:3:2:3:1 bays, with the center and end sections slightly projecting.

The ground-floor openings are pointed arched and were originally all doors, likely glazed, with a continuous impost band. The current windows have glazing bars that intersect at the top and include a small casement opening. From the left, there is a single-storey range with four board doors in pointed-arched openings, which were formerly fruit houses, along with a blocked door and window. The central two-storey range features a blocked ground-floor doorway, a window, and a door with a small added porch, with first-floor four-pane sash windows flanking a blind quatrefoil, which originally had three quatrefoils.

There is another single-storey range with a window and a blocked door, followed by two two-storey bays with ground-floor windows and four-pane sashes on the first floor. The end bay has a ground-floor window and a four-pane sash window above. The building is topped with crenellated parapets, the highest being in the center, and also raised over the end bays, with hipped roofs. The central orangery shows signs of having been heated, indicated by a double rear wall.
