Description
The walled garden, located approximately 100 metres south of Folly Farmhouse, was built around 1912 by Sir Edwin Lutyens. It is roughly 60 metres square and stands 3 metres high. The walls are made of panelled red brick with tiled coping and feature a central archway on each side, including one on the north-east side. These archways have segmental relieving arches, tiled spandrels, and wooden gates with radial fans. In the north-west corner, there is a square red brick pavilion topped with a pyramidal old tile roof and a four-panelled door facing north. Additionally, there is an adjoining red brick outbuilding in the south-east corner, which has an old tiled roof, three hipped eaves dormers to the east with 2-light leaded casements, three 2-light casements below the eaves to the east, and double boarded doors in the gable end facing north.
