Description
The front garden walls at Cae'r Berllan are constructed from squared local rubble and sit on boulder foundations. They create an approximately square, level area, with one side forming the elevation of the house. The walls stand about 2.3 meters high and are topped with a stone coping featuring cyma moulded sides, which rests on a projecting slate course. Four steps, located directly opposite the house door, lead down to a raised pavement that extends southwest to a 5-step mounting block positioned against the outside of the wall. Tall gate piers made of dressed stone flank the entrance, rising to a moulded cornice, above which a shaped block culminates in square ogee terminals. The two outer corners of the walls are also made of dressed stone with a similar cornice and feature rectangular block and knob finials. There are modern timber gates designed in a traditional style.
