History
Golden Grove is a substantial Elizabethan mansion of 1578, with later additions. In 1877 the house was purchased by Henry Pochin, whose daughter Lady Aberconway redeveloped the gardens. The greenhouse was erected in the early C20 and is by Skinner Board & Co of Bristol.
Exterior
A long greenhouse of curved steel trusses on rubble-stone dwarf walls. The gable ends have cast iron apex finials. In the E gable end is a half-glazed boarded door.
Reason for designation
Listed as a well-preserved early C20 greenhouse, and for group value with other listed items at Golden Grove.
