Boundary Walls To North And West Of Morven, And Front Gates And Railings

The boundary walls to the north and west of Morven, along with the front gates and railings, date from the 18th century and early 19th century. They are constructed from local lias stone that is cut and squared, with Ham stone dressings and wrought iron railings. The walls are located two metres west of the house and feature Ham ashlar walls topped with railings that have waisted urn-shaped points and scroll traces. There is a matching single gate opposite the doorway, which has an X-pattern middle rail and a top rail that sweeps up slightly at each end.

The boundary extends from the north-west corner of the house, enclosing the garden to the north. This lias stone wall, approximately three metres high, has thin Ham stone copings and follows an almost continuous curve. On the north side, facing Church Path, there are two piers with chamfered plinths and elaborate dentilled caps above the wall level. These piers are topped with triple steps and urn finials, making them about four metres high. This boundary wall is a prominent feature in the village and an important element of the street scene.
