Description
The kitchen garden walls and fruit house at Orchards were built around 1900 by Gertrude Jekyll and Edwin Lutyens. The walls are made of sandstone blocks, featuring tile-on-edge dressings and tile coping over the gateways. They are arranged in a rectangular plan to the northeast of the house, with a terrace along the east wall. The walls extend 40 meters in the north-south direction and 15 meters in the east-west direction. Attached to the northwest wall is a T-shaped fruit house, which has tile-hung gables and a plain tiled roof. The south side of the fruit house includes two round windows, while the entrance is located on the north side.
