Description

Gardener's Bothy at Arisaig House is a tall, two-storey building with an attic, designed by Philip Webb in 1864. It is situated on a sloping site and features a wide segmental-headed archway that connects the lane to the walled garden at the southeast end. The building is constructed of random rubble with tooled ashlar dressings.

The southeast gable is buttressed and includes a first-floor window and a long attic window beneath a relieving arch. There is a similar attic window in the northwest gable. The northeast elevation has paired first-floor windows, also under relieving arches, located to the right of a central wallhead stack and above a squat lean-to.

A modern glazed lean-to, resembling a glasshouse and added between 1981 and 1982, obscures much of the southwest elevation and the ground floor entrance. The building has a steeply pitched slate roof with deep soffitted eaves projecting at the northeast.

The archway leading to the bothy is closed off by a simple pair of plank gates and a single pedestrian gate, each featuring long blacksmith's hinges. Inside, the bothy has a simple layout with a modern staircase, as it was restored as a dwelling in 1981-1982.

Additionally, there is a long single-storey gardener's shed range that extends from the northwest gable. This structure uses similar building materials and is partially open to the northeast, supported by five square wooden columns with curved flanking struts, all resting on square rubble plinths that increase in height to accommodate the sloping site.
