Description
The kitchen garden walls south of Clowance Farmhouse date from the early 19th century and incorporate some reused fragments from the 17th century. Constructed from stone rubble with granite dressings, the main wall separates the farm from the gardens and features a brick facing on the south side. The enclosure is irregularly rectangular, with walls on each side and two smaller walled enclosures at the most northerly corner. There are entrances to the main enclosure located midway on the east and north sides, and additional entrances to the smaller enclosures on the west and east sides.
The principal north wall of the main enclosure has a brick facing on the inner (south) side, laid in Flemish bond, and includes a blind arcade with brick piers. The brick coping is supported by shallow elliptical arches that spring from the piers. The rear of this wall is rubble with granite dressings on the piers, and some ball finials remain. The north entrance features a low-pitched gable coping supported by an elliptical brick arch over granite piers, framing a small recessed doorway with a segmental brick arch. This doorway contains the original six-panel door with chamfered stiles and rails, equipped with wrought iron HL hinges.
The other walls are primarily rubble with granite dressings around the openings. The wall dividing the two smaller enclosures is made of brick in the upper part and has small ventilation holes. The west entrance of the north enclosure, which serves the garden of Pheasant Cottage, features a low doorway fitted with a reused four-panel section of an 18th-century fielded panel door, which may have originally come from Clowance House. These garden walls are an essential part of the Clowance estate and contribute to the overall historical significance of the Clowance Farm buildings.
