Gazebo, Home Farm, Kemnay House

This is a single-storey and attic apple house, likely built in the later 18th century. It is rectangular in plan and features a pavilion roof. The walls are constructed of coursed rubble with squared stone margins and a distinctive red cherry caulking. Chamfered arrises add to the building's appearance.

The south-east elevation has a window centrally placed at ground level, with a wallhead chimney above. The south-west elevation is distinguished by a pedimented hayloft-style door that breaks through the eaves. A timber door is centrally positioned on the north-east elevation at ground level. The north-west elevation, facing the road, is blank, with a short section of coped wall attached to the outer left.

The window contains 8 panes of fixed glazing. The roof is covered with graded grey slates, and a coped ashlar stack punctuates the skyline.

Originally listed as ‘Gazebo of Old Walled Garden’, the structure is now known as the Apple House. It was not depicted on a plan of Kemnay Farm, Gardens and New Ground from 1759, but it was shown on a ‘Plan of Farmlands and Policies of Kemnay’ dated 1790. Notably, neither plan references a walled garden.
