Garden Walls And Garden Shed Adjoining 17 Metres North North East Of Kitchen Yard

The garden walls and garden shed, located 17 meters north-north-east of the kitchen yard in Thorley village, date from the 17th and 18th centuries. The older west and north walls form part of an enclosed garden, utilizing the former moat for the east side. The small timber-framed, weatherboarded building from the 17th or 18th century uses the west wall as its eastern side. The walls are made of red brick and feature sloping buttresses on the south face of the north wall, along with projecting pilasters on the east face of the west wall. The brick-on-edge copings enhance the structure. The shed has a gabled roof covered with old red tiles and a clasped purlin structure, supported by unjowled posts and re-used rafters. The walls include a red brick plinth, dark weatherboarding, and a ventilation gap below the wall plate, which is protected by horizontal battens.
