Gatepiers and Garden Walls to East of Acomb House

The gatepiers and garden walls to the east of Acomb House are likely from 1737, with the south and west walls possibly dating from around 1900. The 18th-century walls are constructed of brick in English garden wall bond 3 & 1, with externally coursed rubble and stone coping. The gatepiers are made of ashlar stone. The south and west walls are mainly coursed rubble, except for the northern part of the west wall, which is built in Flemish bond brick.

The tall rusticated piers feature attached jambs and moulded caps topped with pyramid-shaped finials, and are flanked by former privies; the western privy connects to the east wing of Acomb House, while the eastern privy is linked to the north-west corner of the walled garden. The tall walls on the north and east sides have flat coping, sloping down at the south end to a boarded door framed by re-set 17th-century moulded jambs. The north end of the west wall also has a similar ramp down to a re-set doorway with a moulded surround and a flattened triangular head with sunk spandrels. There is a lower wall to the east and south, featuring a gateway with small flat-capped piers near the south end of the east wall.
