Description

Gardener's Cottage Café at Aberglasney is a 2-storey building constructed from rubble stone, divided into three units. It features a slate roof that is hipped at the northern end and half-hipped at the southern end, where it meets the arcaded terrace. The chimney stacks have been removed.

On the eastern side, there are openings only in the lower storey. The southern unit includes a pointed doorway with a boarded door. The central unit has a pointed doorway flanked by pointed casement windows, all of which have tympana. The northern unit features a segmental-headed doorway with a boarded door, and to its right, there is a 2-light casement window under a similar segmental head.

The rear of the building has openings on both storeys, with segmental-headed 2-light casements. In the upper storey, there are five windows, and the left-hand window in the northern unit has dressed voussoirs. The lower storey contains a segmental doorway at the left end. The central unit has a doorway that is offset to the right of the centre, flanked by casement windows, with the right-hand window having a stone lintel and being a single casement. Further to the right is another segmental-headed doorway with a boarded door in the southern unit. Adjacent to the northern end is the northern wall that encloses the pond garden.
