Dressed stone and raised stone quoins with gabled slate roof, gabled dormers and stone ridge stacks. 11 bays with central carriage arch, segmental arches to each bay and central clock tower with arcaded ringing stage and cupola above. South side, facing kitchen gardens, is in brick and forms part of a series of C18 walls which enclose 2 former kitchen gardens of elongated octagonal shape. The walls attached to the stable block extend north from a gatepier at the south- eastern corner of the north garden to a gatepier on the southern side of the south garden, and also include the eastern half of the dividing wall. The stone piers probably date from c1890 and carry vases and a gateway in the east wall has a wrought-iron screen of c1930. (q.v. also detached section of wall which completes the 2 enclosures).
