Kitchen Garden Wall

The Kitchen Garden Wall is a Grade II listed structure made of rich red brick, primarily laid in English garden wall bond, with magnesium limestone coping and buttresses. It features bothies constructed from red brick and limestone, topped with corrugated iron roofs.

The wall is semicircular, facing south, and has a recessed central section where a glasshouse was once located. Attached to the north side are the bothies. The wall stands approximately five metres high and extends over 200 metres in length, creating an impressive sweeping curve that is slightly staggered in places. The limestone flag coping projects a few inches on each side. To keep the south side, which is used for fruit growing, clear, the wall is buttressed on the north side.

There are three doorways spaced at regular intervals; the two outer doorways feature segmental brick arches, while the central doorway in the recessed section has a flat brick arch. The recessed section, which served as the heated wall, has a shallow raised lower area that allowed trellises to be positioned slightly away from the wall, preventing trees from being scorched by excessive heat. The north side of the wall includes a range of brick and stone lean-tos, divided into four sections by three buttresses made of coursed limestone rubble with large quoins. Additionally, there is a small L-shaped building attached on the west side. One of the bothies has been partially rebuilt using 20th-century brick, and all bothies are in a semi-ruinous state with crumbling masonry. The windows have lost their glazing, and one of the lean-to roofs is missing.

Inside, the bothies feature either brick or stone floors and exposed brick or masonry walls. The L-shaped building on the west side contains two rooms and a small range in the east wall, likely added in the second half of the 19th century.
