Description

The kitchen garden walls at Doldowlod House are grade II listed and constructed of brick with freestone coping. They are situated on a sloping site measuring approximately 90 meters from northeast to southwest and 60 meters wide. The northeast wall, which faces the main road, follows an irregular line. The southeast wall features a central entrance with a segmental head and retains its original boarded door. Further west, this wall has been breached to allow vehicle access.

The northwest wall includes two entrances, both fitted with replacement doors. The central entrance has a brick segmental head and is flanked on the outer side by lean-to brick bothies. The left bothy has a corrugated metal roof, a central boarded door, a small-pane window with two lights on the right, and a later three-light window on the left. The right side wall, which faces the garden entrance, has a two-light small-pane loft window and a four-pane basement opening that still shows traces of the original mesh. The left side wall has a similar two-light loft window. The right-hand bothy features a slate roof, a central metal-framed window, and a doorway with a two-light small-pane window to its right. The left end wall, facing the garden entrance, has a boarded door.
