Description
The walls, piers, and gates attached to the northeast of Antony House date from 1905, with later additions. They are constructed of brick with limestone dressings and enclose a yard. There are two ranges of walls: the first is approximately 8 meters long and features a central opening that ramps up to the left, connecting to the stable block, which is topped by a carved limestone heraldic bird. To the right, there are two brick piers on plinths, about 4 meters high, adorned with a stone cornice and heraldic birds. This first range extends another 10 meters to meet the second range.
The second range is about 15 meters long and includes a pair of similar brick piers with plain caps and ball finials on shaped stems, along with cast iron spike-finial gates. This range ramps up at the eastern end and is topped by a limestone bust of a warrior. On the north front, the wall is divided into four bays by brick pilasters, featuring terminal piers and a central pier with a cornice and limestone ball finial on a stem. The wall extends to join the house, concealing basement offices, and includes three 2-light casement windows at the lower ground floor level.
