Early 19th century garden temple located on a steeply sloping grassed area above the stables and framed by decorative shrubs. It was designed as an eyecatcher and garden seat. It is a well-preserved, largely complete garden feature.
The proposed development will be visible but existing houses in the village are already within the view and new planting is proposed in order to gradually screen the houses as it grows. The overall impact is considered to be neutral/slight.
