Description
The walls enclosing the garden with attached outbuildings, located about 6 meters west of Plash Farmhouse, date from the early 19th century. They are constructed of red sandstone random rubble with slate and stone coping, standing approximately 3.5 meters high. The north wall slopes down in stages to about 2 meters on the south front. There are two square-headed openings located at the center of the east and west sides. The structure includes two glasshouses with a lean-to roof facing southwest, which have likely been renewed. Additionally, there is an attached lean-to random rubble building on the northeast wall featuring a brick stack, which flanks the entrance to Plash Farmhouse. This walled garden was probably created around 1820 when Willett House was built and Plash Farmhouse became the gardener's cottage.
