Description
Gardener's Cottage is a two-storey converted building with a half-hipped slate roof and unusually wide eaves. It features cement-rendered chimney stacks, one of which has a decorative cornice similar to those found on the house and stables, while another is a later addition, likely made when the building was converted into two cottages. The cottage has small-pane horizontally sliding sash windows, except for one standard sash window without glazing bars on the right side. There are boarded doors at either end, and the right end has an elliptical cart-shed type arch that has been infilled with a window. The rear of the building has undergone alterations.
At the north end of the small courtyard, which includes the Palm House, there is an attached archway featuring a pointed brick arch, similar to the entrance on the opposite (south) side, adorned with pineapple finials.
While the building has been altered during its conversion, it still retains some earlier 19th-century panelling upstairs, which may have been reused.
