The garden wall and gate piers in front of number 6 date from the 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries. Constructed from flint, brick, and rubble, the east end of the wall features 12 semi-circular blind arches on its north face, which have brick-on-edge imposts. The wall is topped with half-round coping-bricks. There are alterations and extensions from the 18th and 19th centuries to the west, including two gate piers that are topped with two badly weathered stone urns.
