Rear Garden Walls To Brandries Cottage And Former Kitchen Garden Walls And Gate To Camden House

The rear garden walls of Brandries Cottage and the former kitchen garden walls and gate to Camden House date from the 18th century. A sale catalogue from 1884 mentions a "capital kitchen garden entirely walled in," which is depicted on a plan located to the south of Brandries Hill House, now known as Camden House. The remaining sections include the south, west, and part of the north wall, along with the continuation of the west wall northward to the former stable yard. The kitchen garden wall is constructed of red brick, featuring a tile course and brick capping, and reaches a height of 20 feet in some areas. The north wall leads down to a pair of gate piers and a gate by No 1 The Brandries; these piers are rendered with capping and ball finials, and the gate is an 18th-century wrought iron design with ten uprights, a single lock rail, and a scroll wrought iron overthrow and standards. The south wall of the former garden extends eastward nearly to the embankment above Hilliers Lane. The north continuation of the west garden wall is lower and also made of red brick; it encloses a paddock behind Brandries Cottage and continues north to the boundary with the former stable yard of Brandries Hill House, now Camden House.
