The Boat House

The Boat House
Boat House as it is now

Despite its name, the original purpose of this building is uncertain.
Although there are subterranean archways into which boats could have been floated. There is also a small platform with steps to the gardens. At one time a floor was introduced half way up, and windows added, forming a small apartment reached by a narrow staircase on the eastern side. This quite attractive structure with its slate roof was, however, reduced to a shell by a fire in 1968.
