Description
Bury Hill Gardens, formerly the orangery and stables of Old Bury Hill House, is a long, low building located on Milton Street in Westcott. The front section facing south served as the orangery, while the back housed the stables and a coachman's or bailiff's house at the eastern end. The orangery, a striking mid-18th century structure, is built of red brick and features a stuccoed cornice and brick parapet. It has nine round-headed windows in the center, with canted bays at each end containing three similar windows each. The windows are slightly recessed, and the roof is tiled with hips over the bays and glass above the remaining sections. The eastern canted bay has been converted into a dwelling.
The northern section of the building, which comprises the stables, has a recessed center featuring nine round-headed arches, with wings on either side that each contain two similar arches. These wings are two stories high and have two windows each, along with a string course, cornice, and parapet, and pilasters flanking the windows that form arches over the first-floor windows. The center portion has pilasters flanking the arches, which contain lunette windows with three lights at the first-floor level. The wall beneath these windows is blank, except for two doors, and there is a cornice and parapet above the center section. The roof is tiled and includes a dormer at the western end. The arches on either side of the central arch do not have lunette windows but feature round-headed recesses. The western end of the stables has been converted into a dwelling with a one-story brick projection. At the eastern end of the stables is a contemporary two-story house with three windows, also built of red brick, featuring a string course, cornice, and parapet. The glazing bars are intact, and there is a round-headed doorway on the northern side, along with a contemporary doorcase on the eastern side, which has a segmental pediment on consoles and carved pilasters flanking the doorway, taken from a house in Surbiton.
