A somewhat peculair mansion inside of Kew Gardens
(( This is an unfinished page. If you need information regarding Cherrypond Mansion, please ask Brend. ))
Cherrypond Mansion, colloquially known just as Cherrypond, is a large mansion situated just north of the Queen's Cottage Grounds in Kew Gardens. Well accesible by carriage from either the Unicorn Gate, driving past King William's Temple through the Arboretum following the Lake, or from the nearby Isleworth Ferry Gate.
Construction on the large three-storey mansion itself was completed in 1832. Attached to the mansion is a greenhouse, constructed in 1842, two years after the founding of Kew Gardens.
The mansion's unique location inside Kew Gardens comes with a legal obligation to maintain the greenhouse, open it up to the public on an agreed-upon schedule, and the unwritten expectation that the wages of the greenhouse gardener and other required labour are donated by the owner of the estate.
Cherrypond's base rating is a 4 with respect to building size and prestige. The attached public greenhouse and expectation of donated salary and labour counts as a -1 drawback, bringing the effective rating down to 3.
