Fine boathouse beside the river to the east of the house (building 4 on plan). The listing description dates it to circa 1850 but it is not shown on the 1886 Ordnance Survey map. It is, however, shown on the 1906 edition. If not of mid 19th century date it is certainly in the style of the period and is a very attractive building in a modest Tudor Gothic style. It contributes considerably to the parkland. It is in poor condition with an immediate need to be re-roofed to prevent further deterioration.
