Description
The garden walls, attached summerhouse, and gate piers located to the southeast of Wick Court date from the 18th century, with the summerhouse being from the 19th century. The walls are constructed from coursed limestone rubble topped with stone coping, while the piers are made of rusticated limestone ashlar. The summerhouse features rubble with stone dressings and a double Roman tiled roof.
The walls enclose a rectangular garden that measures approximately 80 meters from southwest to northeast and about 30 meters from southeast to northwest, standing around 3 meters high. The northwest range of the walls has a small door on the left with an ovolo-moulded surround. At the junction with the house, the walls step down, and to the right, there are five 20th-century French windows with hood moulds and a stone bull's eye window that has been reset. The northeast range also has a similar door on the left.
The southwest range features the attached summerhouse on the right, which has a three-sided front with a window on each side. There is a doorway in the wall to the right, also with a stone ovolo-moulded surround. The southeast range includes a wall that is embattled for about 5 meters on each side of the gate piers. The square piers, approximately 3 meters high, have a plinth, cornice, and a large finial, which was obscured by ivy at the time of the survey in November 1984, but is likely a large ball finial on a stem similar to the former entrance to Wick Court.
