Walls to Former Kitchen Garden at Pool Park including Former Gardeners' Bothy Adjoining to S

Extensive kitchen garden walls enclosing a horse-shoe-shaped produce garden; laid out on a sloping site, open at the lower end. The walls are constructed of red brick in rat-trap bond, unusual for the context. They reach a maximum height of 4m and have a coping course of brown brick. Placed off-centre of the curved upper section (NW) and again further down on the NE side are deeply-recessed round-arched entrances retaining their original 6-panel pine doors. In each case the entrance section is advanced and is coursed normally; limestone ashlar imposts and surmounting square brick finials. Lower down on both of the long sides are opposing entrances, each formerly with coped, brick piers; these have been lost or replaced in C20 brick. The SW (L) side curves around to return westwards just below its central point; here, on its return, is an entrance with round arch, as before. The main wall continues its course and steps down at this point to a height of approximately 1.2m, in the centre of which is the western of the two opposing entrances. This entrance opens onto a smaller rectangular enclosure with walls of approximately 1.8m. This enclosure formerly contained glasshouses, a modern one of which remains.

At its southern-most corner, and sited at right-angles adjoining the main wall, is a former gardeners' bothy. This is a single-storey building of roughcast brick with slated roof, hipped to the L. A central brick chimney divides the block into two 2-bay reflected units, each with outer entrances with boarded doors; 6-pane early C20 windows, with a further, similar window to the L gable end, overlooking the main kitchen garden. The left-hand unit has a basement with stepped access at far L and a boarded door. Adjoining to the R, and continuously-roofed with the main block, is a 3-bay potting shed, open to the front, the roof supported on plain posts. This is currently ruinous.

The interior of the bothy was not inspected at the time of survey.
