Description
Garden House in Rossdhu is an early 19th-century building that was largely remodeled in the early 20th century. It features a long, rectangular plan with both single-storey and two-storey sections. The exterior is finished with painted rubble and painted render, and it includes transomed and mullioned windows with advanced block lintels. The building has projecting eaves and a moulded cornice.
The south (main) elevation has five bays arranged asymmetrically. There is a broad two-storey bay with a piend roof that is advanced at the penultimate left, featuring a tripartite window at the ground level and a bipartite window on the first floor. To the right is a three-bay single-storey block, which includes a lean-to glazed porch in the re-entrant angle, a window to the right, and a slightly advanced piend-roofed bay on the outer right with a window at the centre. There is also a lean-to bay on the outer left.
The north (rear) elevation has undergone alterations with various openings, including a lean-to jamb on the outer right. The windows throughout the building are multi-paned transomed and mullioned. The roof is covered with grey slate and features lead flashings. There are paired sandstone, corniced, octagonal ridge and wallhead stacks with octagonal cans.
