Description

This is a garden wall with bee-boles located to the west of the house, along with a shelter shed behind it, dating from around 1820. The wall is constructed of brick in English garden wall bond with a pattern of one and five, and features two courses of sandstone. It is a tall wall topped with flat stone coping and includes four small arched recesses, one of which is blocked, that have projecting curved stone sills designed to hold bee skips. The shelter shed at the rear is made of rubble with cut dressings and has a Welsh slate roof. It features an arcade of four arches with monolithic segmental stone lintels, although the left arch is blocked and has a later window inserted. The lower wall at the front left does not have coping and is not of interest.
