Description
Two pairs of gate piers and walls enclose the forecourt at Manor Farmhouse, with the walls returning to the north to enclose a former kitchen garden. These structures date from the late 18th century, although the outer gate pier of the south entrance was rebuilt in the 1980s. The walls are made of red brick in English bond, featuring Ham stone coping on the sections that face the road, while the garden has brick and pantiled coping. The quadrant walls flank Manor Farmhouse and end in square gate piers topped with moulded Ham stone caps and plinths. The north entrance is closed off by a brick wall, and the wall continues on the north and west sides to enclose the former garden. On the west side, there are two raking brick buttresses and a depressed pointed arch opening that leads to the remains of a former summerhouse, which includes a plastered apsidial wall; the wall on the south side has been dismantled.
