Description
Gardener's Cottage at Moy Hall is a picturesque two-storey, three-bay gardener's cottage built around 1860-1870. The structure is made of squared and snecked rubble with ashlar dressings. It features mullioned windows on the first floor, with four over six panes of glazing at the ground level and a single over two vertically-placed panes on the first floor. The eaves are overhanging and supported by timber brackets, and there are cast-iron finials on the gables, along with a weather-vane on the circular, conical-roofed stair tower at the rear. The roof is covered with grey slates, and there is a corniced ashlar central ridge stack.
On the front elevation, there is a steeply-pitched, gabled porch at the center that has a shouldered-arched entrance. The entrance features a timber-boarded door with ornamental cast-iron hinges. The first floor has bipartite windows that break the eaves, topped with gabled dormerheads that have studded bargeboards.
At the rear, there is a lean-to kitchen addition on the left and a stair tower in the re-entrant angle. The garden is enclosed by a low, ashlar-coped wall and rubble walls.
