Description
Castellated walls and turrets of rubble stone. The entrance from the drive to the house has round turrets of 2-storey height, of which the L-hand (E) is broader and has a doorway and window openings. Further E. across the front of the house, the wall continues, with 2 turrets, and central brick and concrete steps. The wall then continues, beyond the entrance elevation of the house, curving around the E side, where the wall has saddle-back merlons and there are 3 more half-round turrets, before a gateway from the drive on the E side of the house, also with turrets. Further S the wall is plainer. On the W side of the forecourt entrance is a plain rubble-stone wall, then a curving return leading to the W side of the house which has 2 turrets, and terminates just N of the wing added in 1963. This section also has a memorial plaque to Thomas Arthur Leonard, founder of the Co-operative and Communal Holidays Fellowship. Another short, detached, section of wall is on the R side of the forecourt to the NW of the house, which terminates with a round turret to the side of the house. On the E side of the house is a detached high rubble-stone terrace retaining wall with castellated parapet. The wall is stepped back on the S side, beyond the E elevation of the house, where the wall is battered. A return stub wall is unfinished, on the N side of which is the base of a round tower.
