Terrace on N side of Talacre Abbey

A raised ashlar terrace on an arcade of Tudor arches. The N side is 5 buttressed bays, and is wrapped around the NW angle of the house by means of a 7-sided buttressed and arcaded projection in front of the conservatory. The parapet has moulded saddleback coping and opposite the conservatory doorway is a corbelled pinnacle to the outer parapet face, but cut down (or left unfinished). Stone steps on the S side of the conservatory lead to the wall walk enclosing the service courtyard at the rear of the house. On the NE side the terrace continues to a quarter turn steps in 2 flights (leading to the garden), at the base of which are terminal octagonal piers with bell-shaped capitals.
