Description
The kitchen garden walls date from the mid-18th century and are constructed of red English garden wall bond brick with stone copings. The walls are roughly square in shape and stand approximately 12 feet high, featuring buttresses on both the inner and outer faces. On the north side of the south wall, there are two oval recesses that frame rectangular windows, providing a view into a 20th-century replacement forcing house located to the south. Additionally, there is one similar 20th-century window at the southern end of the west wall. A 20th-century doorway is positioned at the center of the south wall, along with a double gateway at the south corner of the east wall. The north wall reaches about 14 feet in height, and the coping is ramped to accommodate a central 19th-century lean-to glasshouse with a central gable.
