Description
The kitchen garden is a 19th-century structure featuring red brick walls, primarily built in English Garden Wall bond, with some sections of flint and stone. The garden is shaped like an irregular hexagon and includes a cross-wall. At the southern boundary, there are two brick gardener's buildings with slate roofs, which have hipped sections where they meet a shared arched gateway. The walls of the kitchen garden rise to about 3.5 meters and are mainly constructed of red brick, with some areas incorporating flint or stonework. Both brick and stone coping stones can be seen along the top. The north-east corner of the garden is stone-faced with brick quoins, likely due to its visibility from the nearby coach house, stable yard, and drive.
In the north wall, there is a stone gateway with a Tudor-arched head and a decorative iron gate that connects the kitchen garden to the adjacent gardens of the main house. A short section of wall to the west of the gate is half the height of the other walls, likely designed to maintain unobstructed views from the house down the slope. The central cross-wall is supported by stepped buttresses on its south side. The two gardeners' buildings have simple wooden plank doors and timber-framed casements. The interior of the buildings was not inspected. The western building features an attached lean-to timber glasshouse on its south side, which is supported by brick dwarf walls.
