Description

Guards the entrance to Portland bowling green off Hutton Terrace. It is very dainty with ornate barge boards, reminiscent of a railway cottage, with a pretty flowering garden enclosed by low picket fencing. The bowling green is hidden from view by a green timber fence. This is a very lush and peaceful location.
