Description
The structure consists of a garden wall and an attached outbuilding located to the north-west of Thorpe Hall. It dates from the early 18th century but was altered in the second half of the 19th century. The walls are made of roughly-coursed rubble, with the garden wall refaced in pale yellow brick using English Garden Wall Bond 1 & 3, and featuring cut dressings. The outbuilding has a graduated stone slate roof.
The garden wall stands 4 metres high and has a flat stone coping. It includes a 4-panel door beneath a wooden tympanum set in an arch with a rusticated surround. The outbuilding at the rear features a 20th-century sliding door under a 6-panel loft door, which has a re-set medieval bishop's-head hoodmould stop above it. There are also two boarded doors on the left return and a monopitch roof. To the right, there is a short attached wall with an old flush-panelled door in a rusticated surround.
An altered farmbuilding range to the west is not of interest.
