Description
The terrace to the south of Newton Ferrers dates from the late 17th century and is constructed of ashlar granite. It features a striking balustrade made of bulbous granite balusters set on square bases with square caps. The balustrade is divided at intervals by square terminals that have moulded cornices and ball finials. Simple granite piers with moulded cornices and ball finials support the structure, and there are 15 curved steps that lead down in a semi-circular arrangement to a lower terrace. The stone retaining wall of the terrace is heavily buttressed. This terrace is part of a remarkably fine group of terraces that enhance the south garden front of Newton Ferrers. To the south, there is a further garden wall and gatepiers, along with additional balustrade and two flights of semi-circular steps to the north, located directly below the house.
