Description
The garden wall and towers at Stainsby House are early 19th century structures located on the west side of Heanor Road in the parish of Horsley Woodhouse. They are made of red brick with sandstone dressings and feature conical slate roofs, although the roofs are now partly collapsed. The towers have dentilled eaves bands, and the southern tower includes an external brick stack on its southern side.
There are two towers flanking a doorcase, with kitchen garden walls on either side, which are also partly collapsed. The towers are quite plain, each having a segmental headed doorcase on the western side, with a segmental headed window opening above. Between the towers is a stone doorcase with a triangular headed pediment on the eastern side. The garden walls, which are attached to the north and south of the towers, have flat stone copings. These structures are the only remaining parts of the garden associated with the now demolished 18th century Stainsby House.
