  Interesting. I'm guessing that it had just a glazed/solid roof.

  The columns look ornate. That must have been beautiful in its day.

  A conservatory.

  It's more likely that it was a greenhouse - the metal framework within was to hold plants.

  Nice! I like that!

  A greenhouse this close to a right angled wall join would be a strange thing indeed.

  Strange yeah, but I don't see any other reason for plant holders taking up most of the area inside it.

  It looks a bit wee and cramped for a conservatory.

  Do you see a reason for having straw in the house? Maybe they are just randomly placed there.

I still think it would likely be a conservatory.

Why would you build your greenhouse where two sides of it are blocked off to the natural light so important for a greenhouse?

  Yeah I see your point about the greenhouse PD.

  Looks about 12m2, no?
A greenhouse in 1836 (date of construction, right?) would take up a more prominent site in the actual garden.

  Would a conservatory have been built in such an enclosed location though?

  PlasticDel knows of which he speaks... He's a professional! :-D

  Took a look at it this afternoon. Think there had been a greenhouse on theback of the farmworkers house with the walled garden where the doocot is. The sun does get to this side of the house but looks more like a conservatory of sorts to me.
