Description
The kitchen garden walls and attached gardener's house date from the late 19th century and have seen few alterations since. The walls are constructed from slatestone rubble with granite quoins and slate coping. The gardener's house is made of granite rubble with brick dressings and features a hipped slate roof with a lead roll at the ridge, along with axial stacks that have brick shafts.
The walls enclose a roughly rectangular garden, with a cross wall running east to west to create an additional south-facing wall. Attached to the north range is a gardener's shed, while the gardener's house is located in the west range. The house has a double depth plan, built into the bank at the rear, with two storeys on the garden side. The entrance is on the right side, facing into the garden.
On the exterior, the north range of the wall has a lean-to shed on the outer side and features double doors with a segmental arch. The east range includes a single door with a brick segmental arch. The cross wall is stepped to follow the slope of the ground and has central double doors, along with single doors to the right and left, all featuring brick segmental arches. The south and west ranges also have similar single doors. In the west range, north of the house, there is a gateway with cast iron gates topped with knob finials, and railings on either side, also with knob finials.
The house itself is two-storey with a symmetrical two-window front facing the garden. It has two 4-pane sash windows on both the ground and first floors, each with brick segmental arches. The left side has a single-storey service range, while the right side features a 4-pane sash window on the ground floor to the left and a 6-pane sash window at the centre of the first floor. The entrance door is centrally located and has a flat hood supported by wooden posts. At the rear, there are two 2-light casements with L hinges and brick segmental arches on both floors. The service range has three similar casements and 20th-century plank doors at each end, all with brick segmental arches. The interior has not been inspected.
