Forecourt And Garden Walls To North West Of Arncliffe Hall

The forecourt and garden walls located to the north-west of Arncliffe Hall date from the mid 18th century. They are constructed from coursed herringbone-tooled sandstone with flat copings.

The first wall runs north-east from the north corner of the house and slopes down in stages to the end of the forecourt. The taller section near the house features a cornice and ball finials, and it includes a rusticated round-arched gateway. This wall continues along the front of the property and has a central entrance flanked by low rusticated gate piers, which also have cornices, blocking courses, and ball finials.

The second wall extends north-west from the same corner, returning twice to enclose the garden beside the house. The wall opposite the house has three symmetrical keyed gateways, with the central one being round-arched. Additionally, there is a round-arched pedimented gateway at the south-east corner that provides access to the garden front of the house.

A similar length of wall, featuring a matching gateway, runs south-east from the south corner and is included with Arncliffe Hall.
