Description

The Kitchen Garden Walls form a large, irregular enclosure, with the building at the northwest corner facing the original access drive to the house. The north side and most of the east side of the walls remain at their original height of approximately 3 meters, although some sections have been rebuilt to a height of over 2 meters.

The northwest building has been converted into cattle stabling and loose boxes in the 19th century, with all openings altered, including two wide openings on the north side. It features five bay double purlins with a central strut to the collar, all marked with carpenter's marks. The early brickwork continues on the east side, forming the west wall of a barn that is attached at right angles to its south face.

On the south side, there is a piggery that appears to have been built against the north side of the wall. This piggery has an attic and was formerly a malting house, with the inscription 'WR 1789 Malster' painted on it.

At the east side of the enclosure, there is a 19th-century brick range of five pig-sties, with a larger boar house at the southern end. Each pig-sty measures 3 meters by 2.4 meters and has a 3.2-meter-wide run.
