Description

The west garden walls and steps to Broadoak Manor, built around 1923-1924, are made of red brick in Flemish bond with York stone copings and steps. The garden design is influenced by the contemporary work of Lutyens and Jekyll, featuring a central patte d'oie that aligns with the west front of the house, surrounded by beds framed in York stone and grass walks. The enclosing walls connect to the north-west corner of the house and include brick rusticated piers, openings with rusticated quoins, rubbed brick and tile flat and arched openings, tile-creased bands, corbel bands, and canted brick caps. The steps consist of York stone treads and brick risers, with brick dwarf walls that have semicircular niches flanking the lowest flights. These steps lead to an upper lawn beyond the terraces and through a wall to the north-west via an arched opening that was formerly gated. The garden structures are an important part of the setting for Broadoak Manor.
