Walled Garden Including Glass Houses And Peach House

The walled garden at Tyntesfield Park, including glass houses and a peach house, is a Grade II listed kitchen garden with walls and ancillary buildings. It was remodeled and extended in 1896, building upon earlier 19th-century kitchen garden walls. The structure features red brick and stone, with red brick walls that have four-centred arch doorways on the sides and a stone wall at the southwest end supported by large buttresses.

The northeast front was rebuilt in 1896 to include seed rooms, potting sheds, and a boiler house, along with a small loggia at the north end that has a wrought-iron gate leading to the main gardens. This rebuilt front showcases stone pilasters topped with ball-finials over the parapet, a moulded stone cornice, and three large classical ashlar porticos with round arch doorways that have fanlights and double doors leading to the seed rooms and potting sheds. The windows on the southeast end are three-light stone frames with leaded panes, while the northwest end features a loggia supported by small bulbous columns on a brick wall, which holds a stone entablature with a pediment.

The large walled garden enclosure on the northeast side contains glass houses on two sides facing the orangery, as well as a peach house within the garden. The glass houses are constructed from a zinc alloy known as Beard's patent, made by W. G. Smith and Co. of Bury St Edmunds. Inside, the seed rooms and potting sheds are complete with shelves and racks, making this an unusually complete complex of Victorian kitchen garden buildings.
