Description

The Garden Store at St Tarquins in Fordyce is a mid-19th century single-storey building that was originally a narrow three-bay cottage. The exterior is made of whitewashed rubble, featuring a central entrance and two windows on the rear west elevation, which is complemented by a lean-to glass house. The front windows have four-pane glazing, while the rear windows feature horizontal glazing. The building has late 19th-century concrete coped end stacks and a pantiled roof.

The property is also defined by its enclosing walls, which include a low harled wall that separates the property from the street and high coped rubble walls that enclose the garden.
