Description

The kitchen garden wall at Lake House, built between 1900 and 1920, is now enclosing a swimming pool. It is constructed from rendered chalk cob and features tiled copings. The walls are rectangular in plan and stand approximately 2.5 meters to 3 meters high, with a rounded corner on the southwest side. At the north end, there is a doorway with a stone lintel from the 16th century, which has blind spandrels that were taken from a fireplace in the house after a fire in 1912. Additionally, a semi-circular colonnade of short Tuscan columns with a plain architrave was added in 1930 against the west side, raised over two steps.
