Description
The structure consists of three pairs of gate piers and a wall at Number 1, known as Manor House, likely built in the first half of the 18th century, with the wall dating from the 18th century. The garden at the house's angle features three pairs of gate piers made of brick on stone plinths, topped with heavy stone cornices. Two of the more significant pairs are missing their finials, while the third side gate has half-sphere finials. The pair facing the street has panelled brick sides. The 18th-century wall includes a long front and two sections of side wall, constructed from brick with stone copings.
