Description
The walled garden and gazebo west of Shilston Barton is an early 19th-century structure made of rubble with a slate roof on the gazebo. The garden is a roughly rectangular enclosure measuring about 45 metres wide and 30 metres deep, situated on a sloping site, with the gazebo located in the north-east corner. The walls vary in height, reaching up to about 2.5 metres, and some areas are overgrown as of 1987.
Internally, the north wall features four large raking buttresses, and at this higher end, there is a raised path that leads up 10 steps to the two-storey gazebo. The ground floor of the gazebo has openings to the south and west, while the first floor includes a 12-pane fixed light to the south and a blocked opening plus a door to the west, located at the top of the steps by the north wall. The front wall of the gazebo is crenellated, and the roof slopes back towards the north edge. An arched opening is present in the east boundary wall, and the south boundary wall consists of two sections that do not form a straight line.
