Description
The Walled Garden at Dalmoak House is a stable block built between 1866 and 1869. It is a single-storey and attic structure arranged in a U-shape, constructed from stugged, squared, and snecked sandstone. The building features a base course, an eaves cornice, and decorative elements such as arrowslit and gunloop details, chamfered reveals, and crowstepped gables.
On the southeast elevation, there are five nearly symmetrical bays. The central bay has a narrow crowstepped gable that breaks the eaves and includes a dovecot with eleven flightholes. Below this, there is a small window in the attic. The central area has three windows that are regularly spaced, with arrowslits positioned between them. The outer bays have broad crowstepped gables, with the outer right gable featuring a window at the center, flanked by arrowslits and gunloop slits, as well as a narrow lancet in the gablehead. There is a door and window located at the ground level of the outer left gable.
The northeast entrance elevation includes gatepiers with tall screen walls that connect to the outer gables, enclosing a court. It features a tall, octagonal ashlar pier topped with faceted candlesnuffer caps and ball finials. The high squared and snecked rubble walls have ashlar saddleback coping that adjoins the outer gables. The crowstepped gables have shouldered apex stacks. A door is located at the center of the outer left gable, with a round-arched ventilation light above it; this door is boarded and has a blocked fanlight. There is a window at the center of the outer right gable, with a small window to its right, and a round-arched ventilation slit in the gablehead.
The rear elevation features a gable on the outer right, with a door at the center flanked by two windows.
Inside, the inner range has three closely grouped segmental-headed arches and gabled wooden dormers. The left range consists of six narrow bays, with a crowstepped gabled hoist door that breaks the eaves over the door in the penultimate left bay, which also has three flightholes in the gablehead. The right range includes three doors on the right side, a narrow flight opening on the left with a perch, and a gabled wooden dormer.
Adjoining the stable block to the left is the walled garden, which features a tall rubble wall with ashlar slab coping. The southeast wall consists of a low boundary wall topped with high cast-iron railings. There is a door with ashlar margins located in the southwest wall.
