Garden walls to south-west, south and south-east of Trewane (qv) enclosing garden to front of house. Walls continue around raised terrace to east and to rear of house on north-east. Two reset early C17 four-centred granite arches in walls near front of house on south-west and south-east and third reset circa early C17 4-centred granite arch in rear wall to north-east. To south of the house, in line with the central entrance is a structure known as the gatehouse. It was possibly built in the C19 as a folly reusing circa early C17 dressed granite. It comprises the front and side walls of a two storey roofless building, built into the side of a steeply sloping bank. The ground floor, which is below the ground level of the house and gardens, has a one light mullion window in the left hand (west) wall. A flight of steps, largely comprised of reused granite chamfered jambs and mullions leads up to the large granite segmental arched entrance in the first floor. This arch is directly opposite the central entrance of Trewane and forms an impressive gateway.
