Description
The rear garden walling at Cumberland House, including stables, dates from around 1745 and is constructed of plain and chequered red brick. The L-shaped garden wall varies in height and ends in a tall screen wall facing the High Street. The north side features shallow flat buttresses at regular intervals, while the High Street elevation reaches 4 to 5 meters in height. There are four square piers with plain stone coping, with the central two piers flanking plain 20th-century double gates. On the southeast side of the house, the wall connects to a small stable courtyard from the 18th to 19th century, which is now used as garages. A lean-to range on the north side includes a weatherboarded dove-cote topped with a plain tile gabled roof, while the other ranges have slate roofs.
