Description
The Kitchen Garden Wall and Cottage is a late 18th-century structure with later alterations, located on the east side of Wilmer Hatch Lane in Epsom. The kitchen garden wall is built of red brick in Flemish bond with blue brick headers and stands approximately 3 meters high, featuring brick buttresses and stone coping. The cottage, which is situated towards the eastern end of the northern wall of the rectangular garden, is two stories tall and has three bays.
The cottage includes a plinth and a blocked central doorway set in a round-arched niche, which is linked by an impost band to flanking niches that contain 12-pane windows with stone cills. Above these, there are smaller 6-pane windows, with the central one being blocked. All openings have flat brick arches. The cottage is topped with a pediment that has a deep board at the base, supported on consoles, and features a blocked oculus in the tympanum along with oversailing eaves. Lateral stacks are present on the building.
This kitchen garden served Woodcote Park House, which was built in 1753 by Isaac Ware.
