Description
The front garden wall and ha-ha at South Kilburn Park date from the late 18th century, probably around 1798, coinciding with the construction of the house. The wall is made of coursed squared stone and coursed rubble. The ha-ha, which is a type of sunken wall, is located in front of the house and stands approximately 0.75 metres high, featuring flat coping. It curves in a bow shape and ramps up on either side, forming a wall that is about 1.5 metres high on the right and 3 metres high on the left.
On the right side, the wall features a gateway with square-section piers that have plinths and chamfered capstones. The wall then continues back to the house, ramping up over a doorway next to the outbuilding wing. On the left side, the return wall has buttresses, and where it turns back towards the house, there is a derelict privy building behind it. This privy building contains a three-seater privy in the front section and a door leading to a rear section that formerly housed a single-seater privy, which has since been removed.
