Description
The garden wall and boiler-house located on the east return of Shincliffe Hall date from the late 18th century to early 19th century. The garden wall is constructed from narrow bricks in an irregular English garden wall bond and features a flat stone coping. The boiler-house has a pantiled roof and is part of a tall double-skin wall, which was formerly heated, extending approximately 15 metres from the east return of Shincliffe Hall. There is a segmental-headed doorway near the junction with the house. The small boiler-house, which faces the courtyard at the center of the rear of the wall, has an open-pedimented gabled front with a recessed round-arched wall panel that contains a blocked doorway. Inside, there are remains of a round-arched kiln against the garden wall. This structure is included for its group value. A 20th-century lean-to range of sheds to the left of the boiler-house is not of interest.
