Description

The boat house, built between 1843 and 1844 for Sir William Amcott Ingilby, is located at the south end of the ha-ha wall in Ripley Park. Constructed from gritstone and ashlar, the rectangular structure is set into the ground between the castle and the lake, facing north-west. Access from the lake is provided through a wide cambered arch, which features a facade of vermiculated rustication and a flat stone coping. The entrance from the land side is via a steep flight of stone steps leading to a plain doorway. At the time of the resurvey, the building was silted up and not in use.
