An octagonal timber garden shelter with a broadly corrugated roof; shaped and pierced valance, boarded ceiling. Roof carried on pillars, the top halves of which are in the form of turned balusters.
The interior has four bays formed by screens with glazing bars; these have planked benches and splayed sides midway between the main pillars.
