Garden Walls, Gatepiers And Steps At Rear Of Woodperry House

The garden walls, gatepiers, and steps at the rear of Woodperry House date from the early to mid-18th century, with some parts possibly being older. They are constructed of limestone rubble with some ashlar dressings. The rubble walls extend from pavilions to enclose a rectangular parterre at the back of Woodperry House and continue around a narrower kitchen garden at a lower level. The walls are heavily buttressed on the north and east sides, where they function as retaining walls, reaching a height of 6 meters.

At the north-east corner, there are remains of a two-storey single-cell early 18th-century building attached to the exterior of the wall, made of rubble with ashlar dressings, featuring flat-arched openings and remnants of cross window frames. The east wall of the parterre includes a central gateway flanked by a pair of ashlar piers that have moulded cornices and ball finials. Steps leading down to the kitchen garden descend between ashlar walls that curve inward towards short square piers at the bottom.
