Description
These flank walls and balustrade belong to Northcliffe School and relate to the forecourt of Grove Place House. The walls date to the 18th century and the balustrade to around 1900. The walls are constructed of brick and are plain in appearance. The stone balustrade sits upon a brick base and has a moulded rail and base. It is composed of two sets of ten balusters, separated by pedestals. The taller pedestals at either end of the balustrade form a gateway, each topped with a classic vase. The features are included on the heritage list for their group value.
