SD69SW INGMIRE BACK LANE, Marthwaite 162-1/5/380 Ingmire Gardens and associated walled garden

GV II

Gardener's cottage with attached tower and screen wall, and walled garden. The tower probably early C19, and probably by George Webster of Kendal, the walled garden probably of the same date, and the cottage probably mid C19. Roughly coursed mixed rubble with quoins, slate roof. PLAN/EXTERIOR: the cottage has a single-depth double-fronted plan on a north-south axis facing east, and is attached at the south end to the north side of the tower. 2 storeys, 1+3 windows. The 3-window cottage, almost symmetrical, has a square-headed doorway offset slightly right, with a panelled door and shallow overlight, flanked by 2 large rectangular 6-pane sashes on each floor, a square 6-pane sash above the doorway; and a former doorway abutting the tower at the left end now blocked and a 6-pane sash inserted in its place. All these openings have thin plain surrounds and rectangular lintels. Ridge chimney offset left, gable chimney to right, both corniced. The tower, which is also 2 storeyed but rises above the cottage and is distinguished by a tall oversailing parapet with stepped crenellation and a turret at the north-west corner, has a 6-pane sash offset left at ground floor, with Gibbsian surround, and a 6-pane sash at 1st floor like those of the main range. Attached to the left corner is a gabled screen wall with the back of a garden alcove extruded on this side, under a monopitched roof. The boundary wall to the walled garden, of slobbered rubble with stone slate coping, approx. 3 metres high, has a straight east side linked to the north corner of the cottage and the south corner of the tower, straight south and west sides and a curved north side. Attached to the outside of the section next to the cottage is a range of single-storey lean-to outbuilding, the south half with windows and a stone slate roof and the north half with a garage and a Welsh slate roof; and next to this is a tall gateway now furnished with metal gates. Forms group with Ingmire Hall to south-west (qv).
