The Garden Cottage And Garden Walls At Coldharbour Wood

The Garden Cottage and Garden Walls at Coldharbour Wood is a former kitchen garden wall built around 1785 for T. Caswall of Coldharbour. The wall is constructed of red brick with some stone dressings and measures approximately 140 meters by 75 meters, forming a roughly rectangular shape with a section cut out to the southwest. It stands about 3 to 4 meters high and features corner piers, some topped with stone caps, and pilaster buttresses. The wall curves inward at the top, finished with a brick coping.

The principal opening to the southeast retains one stone-blocked pier, while there is a plank door to the southwest with a projecting brick surround and a gauged brick flat arched head, along with stone impost blocks. Another plank door to the northwest has an inner blocked round arched head. A section of the original wall extends into the garden from the northeast side, and there is a stock brick spur wall to the southwest.

In the southwest inset of the wall is an early 19th-century gardener's cottage, which has a ground floor of white brick with a red brick band at the first floor, constructed of stock brick, and features a slate roof. The cottage is two stories tall with two windows and a central entrance in a later gabled porch, flanked by blocked round-headed openings, with empty first-floor openings. It has extruded end stacks and two sash windows at the rear. To the left are one-story outbuildings, consisting of two bays of stock brick with a door and a nine-pane sash window with round heads, and three bays of 18th-century red brick with round-headed openings, some of which also appear at the rear.

The interior has not been inspected. Coldharbour House and this wall were constructed after the demolition of the early Sacombe House and its embattled garden wall, which were part of Charles Bridgeman's layout of the grounds around 1715. The original house was later demolished following the construction of the present Sacombe House in 1802.
