Gatepiers And Gates, Corehouse Conservatory And Flower Garden Walls

The gatepiers and gates at Corehouse, along with the conservatory and flower garden walls, date from around 1827 to 1830. The single-storey, five-bay rectangular conservatory is built from bull-faced sandstone ashlar with polished dressings, and it is situated within a roughly rectangular walled enclosure that features a rounded section at the southeast corner, which was rebuilt into an earlier structure. The enclosing walls to the west and south are made of bull-faced masonry topped with ashlar coping, while the northern and eastern walls are constructed from squared and coursed rubble.

The conservatory is now a roofless stone-framed shell that originally had a pitched roof. It features stepped angle buttresses that end in square-section pinnacles topped with squat pyramidal capstones.

The walls and gates include low, partly balustraded sections to the south and the southern part of the west wall, which have a roll-top saddle-back moulded coping and Y-shaped balusters. The walls to the north and east are higher and have rounded coping. Square-section gateposts and piers punctuate the walls, which include a cornice band and squat pyramidal capstones. There is an original two-leaf cast-iron gate with Y-shaped spars and a fleur de lys border.
