Description
The garden walls and forecourt wall adjoining Woolleigh Barton to the southeast were built in the mid to late 19th century and incorporate some fragments of older masonry. They are constructed of stone rubble with some red brick dressings. The walls enclose the front garden of Woolleigh Barton, with high side walls next to the house, and the wall on the right (northeast) retaining the adjacent field. The low front wall features crenellated coping and has two gateways that lead to each front door. At the left-hand end, there is a long curved forecourt wall that projects forward. The two front gateways have square gate piers and late 19th-century wooden gates. There is a boarded door in the left-hand side wall with a wooden lintel. A flight of stone steps leads to the top of the right-hand side retaining wall. The curving forecourt wall ends with a square pier that has a reused crocketted pinnacle as a finial.
