Walled Gardens, Cottages, Greenhouses And Tower To South West Of Tylney Hall

The complex comprises walled gardens, cottages, greenhouses, and a tower located to the southwest of Tylney Hall. One greenhouse likely dates to circa 1851 and was reputedly moved from the Great Exhibition at Kensington. The remainder of the complex was constructed between 1899 and 1904, with the tower and cottages built against the outer garden wall by Robert Weir Schultz, and the rest by R. Selden Wornum.

The eastern walled garden features ten-foot-high red brick walls with stone copings, enclosing an area of approximately 60 yards by 40 yards. It incorporates crow-stepped gables to the arches, which have triple keystones. A greenhouse from circa 1851 stands on a red brick plinth on the north side, with glazing framed partly in wood and partly in cast iron. The greenhouse comprises five ranges with lower ranges flanking the centre, and the central range has decorative ridge cresting and a projecting hipped and bowed porch. A small gabled shed is located outside the southwest corner of the wall.

The western walled garden also has ten-foot-high red brick walls with stone copings, defining an area of approximately 60 yards by 40 yards, and features crow-stepped gables to the arches with triple keystones. A red brick tower, of a stripped Central European gothic silhouette, stands at the northwest corner, designed by Schultz. The tower has windows at various levels and an open loggia at the top stage, beneath a steep pyramidally-hipped bellcast roof supported by timber. An octagonal stair turret projects from the west side. The tower is flanked by a low range to the left, featuring irregular fenestration and an octagonal cupola, situated inside and against the west wall of the garden, and by a low range to the right, inside and against the north wall. This north range incorporates symmetrical, one-and-a-half-storey gardeners' cottages with two cross-gables and a verandah supported by timber poles. Jettied gables with oriels are located below the jetties, and smaller cross-gabled cottages are positioned on either side, creating a symmetrical arrangement.

A pair of red brick gate piers, each with stone cornices and ball finials, are located to the rear of the north range, connecting with the red brick wall of the north garden. The north garden’s wall is red brick with moulded stone coping on its northeast side and includes a gabled stone shed along the inside flank, open to the right as cart sheds, low and supported by timber. The wall continues at a right angle to the west for ten yards, leading to a second pair of gate piers with stone cornices and ball finials.
