Garden buildings and adjoining boundary wall. Early C19 with additions c1877-78 and mid C20. Coursed squared stone and brick, with ashlar dressings and hipped slate roof with rendered ridge stack. Single storey; 3 window range. 2 large casements, 2 and 3 lights, with wooden mullions. To left, a C19 4-panel door and beyond, a large board door. Right return has a porch with wooden Ionic columns and pediment, moulded 6-panel door and fanlight. Beyond, to left, flat roofed and lean-to additions, C19 and C20. To right, a similar addition. The rear of the building forms part of the boundary wall to the castle grounds. This runs from the north gateway to the garden buildings, approx 3m high and 40m long, with slab coping. Beyond the garden building, a similar stretch approx 20m long, ending with an ashlar pier. Beyond this, a section approx. 2m high and 60m long, with a segment-arched doorway. The boundary wall was probably built during alterations to improve access to the Park in 1809 and 1821, with further alterations by TC Hine in 1877-78. The wall is partly built on a natural rock outcrop. (Get to know Nottingham: Brand K: The Park Estate, Nottingham: Nottingham: 1984-: 9).
