Description
The kitchen garden walls at Plas Heaton date from the 19th century and enclose a wedge-shaped area. These walls are constructed of red brick in English Garden Wall bond and topped with sandstone copings, reaching a height of approximately 4 meters. There are segmentally-arched entrances on the north, south, and east sides, featuring sandstone imposts and modern decorative iron gates. On the shorter east-facing wall, there is a centrally-placed melon house, which is a hipped-roofed glazed conservatory supported by brick piers and featuring a canted front. This melon house has large 28-pane unhorned sash windows, although much of the glass has been lost.
Attached to the rear of the east wall is a series of gardeners' sheds designed as a long lean-to. This structure is built of limestone rubble and has a slate roof. It includes three entrances, with the rightmost one being boarded, and three windows: two are two-light windows and one is a single-light window on the far right, with plain glazing in the last two.
