Description
The Walled Garden at Fairlie House, likely built in the later 18th century, is a large garden enclosed by a wall made of random rubble, measuring approximately 150 by 75 meters. It features two inner dividing walls and has lean-to potting sheds attached to the south wall of the northern section. The south-facing walls are partially lined with brick.
The principal gateway is located on the east wall and is made of polished sandstone, featuring a segmental arch with long and short voussoirs, as well as wide, flat, triangular-topped buttresses on both the interior and exterior. The gateway includes two timber-boarded gates. There are also later openings at the northern end of the east wall.
The potting sheds are constructed from random sandstone rubble, accented with polished sandstone ashlar margins, an eaves course, ashlar-coped skews, and topped with grey slate roofs.
