Description
The Walled Garden at Physgill House is likely from the early 19th century and comprises a large walled garden connected by a stable/cottage block. The garden is enclosed by rubble walls approximately 14 feet high, topped with coping stones, and divides into two compartments.
The stable/cottage block is a low, two-storey range constructed of rubble, with later cottage bays that are partly harled. It features irregular openings with segmental carriage arches, now blocked, and hayloft windows set under the eaves. A swept hayloft dormer is visible above the cottage bays, and there is a pend (gateway) through the cottage addition, alongside various windows. The building has a variety of glazing patterns. The stable bays are roofed with graded slates, a sandstone ridge, and a brick wallhead stack. The cottage bays have more modern roofing and later ridge stacks.
The statutory address was revised in 2018 to correct a typographical error and now reads 'Physgill House, Walled Garden and Stables'.
