Cadw's description
Location
Set back in the garden to the E of the main house at Rhiewport.
History
Probably built c1910, and used at one time as a joiners workshop.
Exterior
A small exercise in Arts and Crafts architecture: roughcast render over brick, with battered buttressed slate hung gable end, slate roof with axial brick stack, with moulded and stepped cap. 2-room plan, each separately entered via doorways set back in recessed verandah to right. Decorative panelling to doors. 2-light small-paned casement window with shutters pierced by hearts below eaves to the left. Hipped gablet to roof in left hand tile-hung return, with high window of 3-lights with small panes, the central light projecting as an angled oriel. 2-light casements with pierced shutters in rear elevation. Inside, the main room has wooden fireplace surround, inscribed with Shakespearean verse. Door and window furniture all decorative wrought iron.
Reason for designation
A very good example of Arts and Crafts architecture on a small scale, and part of a group of buildings of considerable interest at Rhiewport.
