Description

The former kitchen garden walls of Saltram House, built in the late 18th century, are now part of a residential development. These walls are made of red brick laid in Flemish bond, featuring brick copings with sloping sides and a flat top. They enclose three rectangular gardens, each about one acre in size. The walls have buttresses at regular intervals and are ramped up on either side of a central drive, which is flanked by piers topped with pineapple finials. The partitions are cavity walls that include heat-ducts. Inside the greenhouse, which is built against the north wall and has been mostly rebuilt, there are two original lead tanks dated 1771. The Head Gardener's Cottage has been altered and is no longer part of the listing.
