Description

The garden walls and ha ha, dating from around 1872, are located to the west of the Orangery and west of Stevenstone House Terrace. They are constructed from local stone rubble with sandstone ashlar coping, and feature brick piers topped with sandstone ashlar capitals and cast iron railings. The walls enclose three sides of the garden, which opens to the east towards the ruins of Stevenstone House.

The north wall is a tall stone rubble wall that runs alongside the drive to the West Lodge. In approximately 1980, a gateway was added, which includes square-section brick piers and large plank double doors. At the west end, there is an original corner pier made of brick, square in section, with a moulded cap and a carved pineapple finial. A similar pier is located at the south end corner of the western return wall, where two additional piers without finials flank a wide central gateway. The western wall is low, built of snecked stone, and slopes down from north to south as the ground gently falls away. It is topped with cast iron twisted rails and spear-headed finials, along with similar lower intermediate rails. The southern return features a ha ha, which is a stone rubble revetment for the garden terrace that overlooks the former deer park to the south.
