Description
The Garden House and Walled Garden at Eildon Hall date from 1880 and feature a single-storey and attic, three-bay, T-plan gabled gardener's cottage. The cottage has bracketed overhanging eaves with timber cross-bracing and lying pane glazing. It is constructed from squared and snecked red sandstone rubble with pale ashlar dressings, and has raised stone cills. A Regency-style stone canopy, also dated 1880, is positioned above the central timber door. The cottage includes stone-mullioned bipartite windows with chamfered openings and ball-and-spike finials on the gables at the principal elevation. There is a single-storey lean-to timber garage addition at the rear.
The cottage features multi-pane, horizontal glazing in timber sash and case windows, a grey slate roof, and tall ridge and end stacks made of pale ashlar with clay cans. It also has squared, cast-iron rainwater goods with ornamental hoppers.
The Walled Garden, dating from the early to mid-19th century, is a substantial square-plan garden enclosed by 15-foot high walls made of red sandstone rubble with ashlar coping. There is a segmental-arched cart entrance at the northwest corner with timber two-leaf doors. Along the north wall, there is a row of single-storey lean-to garden stores made of red sandstone rubble, featuring a timber columned open section with grey slates and a central chimney stack. Inside the north wall, there is a large lean-to timber greenhouse with a cast-iron frame.
