Plan: 3 room on plan: a single-storey service block to the left (north) a 2-storey 1 room plan heated block in the centre and 1 room plan 3-storey Italianate tower at the south end, the tower possibly a remodelling. Exterior: The tower has 19th century timber sash windows to the west and south faces, one to the first and second floors; the top storey has 3 round-headed arches on each face below the eaves with recessed windows, the moulded arches springing from plain capitals. The 2 storey block to the north has 2 small late 20th century first floor casements and a ground floor bow window with 19th century timber small-pane sashes and a pantile roof. The single-storey block at the left end has one small window at the extreme left and a 20th century timber sash with glazing bars to the right. Interior: Plain. Access from the interior to the brick vaulted paired tunnels, about 50 feet long, which were formerly part of the heating system of the orchid house above in the kitchen garden. The orchid house no longer exists above ground. Group value with the Palm House and the garden and terrace walls. Other details: LBS No 85965.
