Description

Garden walls of brick with copings and intermediate square piers, enclosing an area approximately 80m square. Entrances in the S and E walls have boarded doors under segmental heads. In the centre of the N wall is a C20 entrance under a steel lintel. At the NW corner is 2-storey brick apple store, square with steep pyramidal slate roof. It has gabled dormer openings, all boarded up, and pointed boarded door on the E side. Next to it the N wall has an entrance with depressed arch and later iron gate.

The W side of the N wall has buildings against it and faces a raised walled terrace occupying the NW corner of the garden. It has a central former and now roofless vine house (or small orangery) of brick with rusticated stone quoins and a pediment. It has a wide and tall round-headed arch, which has half-glazed panel cast iron doors and small-pane glazing. It is flanked by round-headed niches occupied by sculpted male and female figures in classical dress. Above them are stone tablets with festoons. The pediment has a small roundel with re-used Coade stone medallion of a boy and wheatsheaf, with the partly legible date '179?'. To the R and L of the vine house are lean-to iron-frame greenhouses on brick dwarf walls, with half-glazed panel cast iron doors in the end walls.

The outer N side has 2 lean-to bothies, one under a hipped roof, and one of which retains a window with iron-frame Gothic glazing.
