Description

The kitchen garden walls and greenhouses located to the south-west of Ashford Court date from the late 18th century and 19th century. The walls are constructed of brick and feature ashlar coping. They extend 80 meters south-west from Ashford Court, bending and returning 60 meters to the north, enclosing approximately 2000 square meters of the former kitchen garden. The walls include segmental arched doorways and are attached to two greenhouses. The greenhouse against the south-west wall is a 20-bay lean-to made of glazed timber framing set on a brick plinth. The north wall features a 5-bay lean-to greenhouse of similar construction. There is also a garden store at the rear, which has a sloping lead roof on brick walls, a round-arched opening with a boarded door and fanlight at one end, and a reset 17th-century mullion window with leaded lights at the opposite end. This structure is included for its group value with Ashford Court and the stable block to the south-east.
