Description
The gate piers, gates, walls, and terraces located immediately north and east of Flete House were designed in 1878 by architect R. Norman Shaw. There are two pairs of large ashlar gate piers at the entrance, featuring fluting in fielded panels, moulded cornices, caps adorned with Vitruvian scroll friezes, and ball finials. The wrought-iron gates are complemented by an elaborate overthrow. Low forecourt walls flank the entrance, topped with moulded saddle-back coping, and there is a pedestrian gateway to the lower terrace on the east side, which includes a four-centred moulded arch between the gate piers that also have ball finials. The terrace to the east of the house is supported by stone revetments with weathered buttresses and saddle-back coping, offering views over the park to the east, where the River Erme flows. This structure is included as Grade I due to its significance as part of Norman Shaw's overall design.
