Description

The Walled Garden at Cherrytrees dates from the early to earlier 19th century and is a rectangular garden situated on uneven ground that slopes to the south. It features a lean-to glass house and a Gothick hot house located to the north, with rounded corners. A later addition to the north includes another rectangular walled area, which has a brick-lined wall facing south. The structure is built of rubble whinstone with harl pointing and dressed with sandstone ashlar, including ashlar copings.

To the east, there is a rusticated and keystoned pedestrian gateway that is regularly set in the wall, which follows the slope of the ground and is topped with an ashlar urn finial. A plain gateway is located at the center of the south wall, positioned in a raised section.

The glass houses and hot house consist of a 5-bay sandstone ashlar structure, with the Gothick hot house projecting at the center and set within recessed taller bays of the north wall. This is flanked by lean-to glass houses, with those on the right having been removed. The central three bays are canted and supported by semi-octagonal buttresses that rise to finials. Each bay features a pointed-arch opening, with the central ones adorned with cusped glazing patterns and a lean-to glass roof behind. The lean-to glass houses continue to the left on the lower wall, while those on the right have been removed.

There are also lesser ancillary buildings nearby, which date from various periods.
