Description

The wall to the front garden of Manor Farmhouse is a late 18th-century garden wall made of reddish brick with a stone coping. It encloses a rectangular garden in front of the farmhouse and is fronted by a ha-ha. The wall has a flat coping and is approximately 0.75 metres high at the front, serving as a retaining wall. It ramps up at either end, returning to the house on the right at a height of about 1 metre, and on the left, it steps up to a height of approximately 2 metres before turning right again to connect with the house.
