Description
The Walled Garden north of Ashby Hall is a detached garden dating from the late 18th century or early 19th century, featuring a boiler house and remnants of greenhouse dwarf walls.
Constructed of red brick with a pantile coping, the garden has a hexagonal shape. The exterior walls are built in an English garden wall bond using 2 ¼ inch handmade red bricks and are topped with pantile coping. A partially reinstated gravel pathway runs along the outside of the garden. On the southern wall, there are surviving dwarf walls that once supported glasshouses, along with parts of the iron winching mechanism used to open the glass roof panels. Evidence of heating pipes can still be found within the dwarf wall structure. Additionally, the north-eastern section of the exterior wall features a decorative multi-diamond pattern made from blue bricks.
Inside the Walled Garden, remnants of Victorian glasshouses can be seen on the north wall, including brick arches that would have provided heat. Above this area, a modern dwelling has been constructed on the original footprint. To the west of the reinstated glasshouses, there is a small 19th-century lean-to.
At the western and eastern ends of the hexagon layout, there are plank doors with wooden lintels above. The southern wall contains the remains of a small shelter, likely for a boiler, which has a brick chimney indicating that this wall was heated. It is believed that this heating system was later extended to warm the southern glasshouses.
While the modern dwelling built on the dwarf walls in the northern section of the Walled Garden is not considered of special architectural or historic interest, any works that could affect the character of the listed building may still require listed building consent, as determined by the local planning authority.
