Description

The garden walls at Northaw Place, located on the southern side of the property, date from the late 17th century and are constructed of red brick. The walls form three sides of a square, connecting to the southern front of the house at the eastern end. In the center of the southern side, there is a pair of double cast iron gates, likely from the 19th century, which are set between square gate piers that also date from the 19th century and feature stone cornices. These walls are included in the listing for their group value.
