Description

The building is an L-shaped screen wall that connects to stables and workshops at the west end of the service drive leading to the kitchen court. One section of the wall, approximately 4 meters high, is made of rubble and extends north from the stable block. In the center, there is a semicircular archway featuring slate voussoirs, stone coping, and pilasters. The walls on either side have coping made of vertically laid stones. To the right of the main archway, there is another archway that is blocked but likely originally provided access to a narrow service yard used for drying clothes.

The second section of the wall, which is of similar height and also made of rubble, turns at a right angle to create a screen wall that encloses a small area known as the 'ante-yard.' This area is located at the west end of a track that ascended to accommodation at the west end of the kitchen court behind the house. At its western end, this wall connects to the south-east corner of the workshops. To the left, there is another semicircular archway, which differs from the first as it is not dressed and features rubble voussoirs instead of slate. This archway is topped with large cast-iron urn finials. Neither of the archways has gates.
