Description

The mounting block and garden walls located immediately northeast, east, south, and southwest of Bowden House date from the early 19th century, likely around 1823, coinciding with the house's remodelling. The walls are constructed of slate rubble and feature slate-on-edge capping. They enclose a large rectangular garden to the east and north of the house, as well as a kitchen garden to the southwest, which is set back and terraced into the hillside. A wall separates the two garden areas. There are two pointed arch doorways on the south side of the front garden, and on the north side, a mounting block is situated by the house, with the wall sloping up to the front of the house.
