Terraces and Forecourt Walls at Wigfair Hall

The terraces and forecourt walls at Wigfair Hall are 19th-century features that enhance the garden area of the house. The terraces comprise two gravel walks, one lower than the other, extending about 50 meters along the garden side. Each revettment wall is made of rough-dressed limestone with chamfered-edged sandstone capping and is gently sloped. The terraces descend in two equal steps of 2 meters to a partly-sunken lawn. The upper terrace has two ascending steps at the southern end, while the lower terrace has flights of seven steps at both the northern and southern ends, with the coped parapet sloping accordingly. Access from the upper terrace to the lower is via three steps at the northern end.

At the northern end, the low, coped terrace wall steps up at a right angle to continue as a forecourt enclosing wall, standing about 1 meter high. This wall is constructed of snecked limestone ashlar with chamfered sandstone capping and runs westward in front of the house before curving to the south, where it ends at the service area of the house. The wall features nine square limestone ashlar piers with sandstone capping, with two pairs serving as gatepiers at the front (north) and side (east) of the property. Each gatepier is fitted with contemporary low, decorative iron gates and modern terracotta finials. As the wall curves to the south, it rises in seven stages to a maximum height of 2 meters at its southern end.

In the center of the forecourt, there is a shallow, octagonal, chamfered stone basin with a square tapering block of sandstone at its center, which holds a 19th-century brass sundial inscribed 'Troughton, London.'
