Description
The walled garden at Leny House is a large, irregularly-shaped V-plan garden that likely dates from the 18th century. It is situated to the west of Leny House, which is listed separately. This garden is notable for its early date, size, and unusual layout.
The garden is set on rising ground to the south. At the eastern end, there are a pair of square-plan rusticated ashlar gatepiers. The northern wall features a bowed section that corresponds to a curved path shown on the first edition map. To the southwest, there is a 19th century burial ground for the Buchanan family of Leny. Some sections of the garden wall have collapsed as of 2005.
The walls of the garden are constructed from random rubble with ashlar copes. Additionally, there is a small rectangular plan outbuilding with a piend roof located adjacent to the northeast corner of the garden, which also appears on the first edition map.
