Garden Walls with Gates and Garden House

The garden walls with gates and garden house at Forcett Park date from the late 18th century for the walls and gates, and the early 19th century for the house. Constructed from brick, rubble, ashlar, render, and wrought iron, the walled garden features a brick-lined rubble wall that has been raised in height on the west and north-west sides, topped with ashlar coping, creating a quadrangle. Initials made from darker bricks are set into the brickwork at various locations. There are board doors located in the center of the east side and to the north, along with cart openings to the north and south. The south and west walls have segmental-arched openings with wrought-iron gates; the south wall features an ashlar opening with a scrolled gate, while the west wall has an ashlar keyed architrave and a decorative gate. On the north side, there are bothies on the outer side, which include living accommodation attached to a pavilion-like garden building, known as Garden Cottage when occupied by the gardener. The garden building is a single-storey, five-bay structure that projects into the garden, made of ashlar with rendered panels and a hipped roof covered in Westmorland slate. The first, third, and fifth bays are blind and rendered, while the second and fourth bays contain a 24-pane sash window. The building has a parapet and a rear chimney, with a door of six fielded panels on the left return. Inside the garden building, there is a cornice featuring ribbed and cable-twist motifs. In the center of the garden, there is a sundial.
