Description
The garden walls with rails, gate, and attached cottage located to the west of Haughton Strother Farmhouse date from the late 18th century, with the cottage being from the 19th century. The north and west walls are constructed of brick in English garden wall bond, featuring cut stone dressings, while the south wall is made of rubble. The rails and gate are made of cast iron. The cottage is built from squared stone with tooled-and-margined dressings and has a Welsh slate roof.
The tall wall on the north side of the garden has a flat coping and connects to the Haughton Strother farmhouse on the right. A similar wall on the east side features a boarded door set in an alternating-block surround with raised jambs and a wedge lintel. The attached cottage, which forms an L-shape with the south part of the wall, has a single storey and two bays on its south elevation, with 16-pane sash windows (one of which has been renewed). The roof is hipped to the left, and the left return shows a renewed door in an irregular-block surround and a renewed 12-pane sash window.
On the south and east sides of the garden, there is a lower curving wall with arched coping that connects to the right with railings surrounding the farmhouse forecourt. The rails have foliate tops, and monolithic tapering lancet-shaped piers support a similar gate that features an ornamental half rail.
