The wall and gateposts in front of Mains Farmhouse date from the late 18th century. They are constructed of painted snecked ashlar and feature V-jointed quoins. The low wall is complemented by square pilastered gateposts and end piers, which are topped with pineapple finials, creating the front boundary of the garden.
