HEADLEY HEADLEY ROAD (East side) Garden Walls, Bothy and Bridge at RAF Headley Court

GV II

Garden walls, gardener's bothy and bridge, partly forming the north, east and south boundary to RAF Headley Court (qv). Late C19/early C20. Red brick wall with cornice of diagonally set bricks, crowned by a tiled pitched roof. To the north of the laid out garden this includes a double-arched brick gazebo under a Flemish gable with a cast iron sundial. On the north end of the eastern wall is a polygonal brick and flint gardener's bothy with conical tiled roof. At the south-east end the wall forms a bridge with conically capped and brick enriched circular pillars. To the east of the house a length of red brick wall having and urn crowned pillar closes the lilly pond before continuing south past the house to include a good cast iron gate with scrolled side panels and overthrow. At the southern boundary the wall becomes brick and flint with brick arcading and ball-capped columns. One column appears to have the globe from the northern garden sundial. A further cast iron gate leads into a massive beech tunnel.
