Description
The railings and gate piers, along with the boundary walls of Paxton House, are likely from the 19th century. They consist of tall pink rubble sandstone walls that enclose the Paxton House estate, sharing a boundary with Tweedhill House in part. The walls feature predominantly squared sandstone coping, with some sections made of rubble. At the northwest corner, there are hooped iron railings that follow a curved design.
Various sandstone gatepiers are present, including square-plan piers with pyramidal caps to the north, although the gate is missing. There are also platformed, pyramidal-capped, stop-chamfered square-plan piers flanking the entrance to The Dower House, which also lacks a gate. Nearby, additional square-plan piers with pyramidal caps support a two-leaf iron gate.
Swept walls flank an opening to the northeast, and there are further openings in the walls. The site is enclosed to the River Tweed, featuring a four-centred arched opening with a keystone that spans a sluice to the south.
