Description
The front garden wall with gate piers at Osgoodby Hall is a Grade II* listed structure dating from the mid to late 17th century. It is constructed from coursed squared stone and ashlar, enclosing a rectangular garden. The wall features a chamfered plinth and has roll-moulded, saddle-back coping on the front and rear walls, with a three-course, triangular-sectioned coping on the return walls.
To the left of the house, the wall slopes down from the first floor and includes a segment-arched opening by the house, while the wall on the right is slightly lower. Each side wall turns forward and has a doorway at the house end, featuring a 1970s board door beneath a keyed flat arch supported by imposts with a cornice and blocking course.
As the walls extend along the front, they ramp down to a height of approximately 1 metre and culminate in a central gateway. The gateway is marked by square-section ashlar piers with attached pilasters, moulded plinths, and capitals. Each pier is topped with a corniced entablature and a ball-on-cushion finial, and the wrought-iron gates, designed in a 17th-century style, were added in the 1970s. Inside the garden, the side doorways are flanked by small round-arched niches with imposts.
