Kitchen Garden Walls and Ancillary Buildings at Normanhurst Court

The kitchen garden walls and ancillary buildings at Normanhurst Court date from around 1870 and are designed in a Gothic style. The main feature is a walled garden, approximately 18 meters square, constructed of brown brick with decorative diaper patterns in black brick. The walls vary in height up to about 4 meters and include buttresses and cambered entrances. The north-east corner features a crow-stepped parapet.

Attached to the north-west corner is the Garden Cottage, built for the Head Gardener. This T-shaped building is made of brown brick with intricate diaper patterns, stone dressings, and a roof featuring alternating bands of plain and patterned tiles, topped with a central brick chimney. The cottage has curved gables on its two main fronts, adorned with obelisk finials, stone crosses at the apex, and a blank shield on the front elevation. It also includes a three-light canted stone bay on the front and a side doorcase with a six-panelled door.

On the north side of the walled garden, there is a range of six one-storey brick lean-to structures. Some of these served as bothies for unmarried under gardeners, while others functioned as a stoke hole, potting shed, fruit room, and office. These structures feature sash windows and plank doors, with fireplaces and built-in cupboards still present in the bothies. Originally, glasshouses were attached to the south face of the north wall, but these have since been demolished. Normanhurst Court itself was demolished in the 1950s.
