Carpenter's Cottage

Carpenter's Cottage is a single-storey, three-bay former estate worker's cottage built in the later 19th century, likely by the Haddo Estate Office of Works. It is located within an area of grassed parks and woodland in the designed landscape of Haddo House, near Methlick.

The cottage has an L-plan design made from rusticated ashlar. Its symmetrical front elevation features two bay windows topped with prominent castellated parapets. Each gable end has three tapered chimney stacks. A later lean-to porch has been added to the rear elevation, and the interior retains some simple cornicing.

Constructed between 1868 and 1899, Carpenter's Cottage is shown on the Ordnance Survey Second Edition map, which also indicates an additional outshot building to the rear (north), a water pump to the east, and a square garden enclosure to the west (revised 1899, published 1900). By the 1970s, the outshot building had been removed and replaced with a separate timber structure of a similar footprint, as noted on the Ordnance Survey from 1973. The rear porch extension was also added by this time, and the walled garden enclosure was removed in the later 20th or early 21st century.
