Description
The garden and courtyard walls on the west and southwest sides of Doldowlod House are Grade II listed. The L-shaped garden wall at the northwest end of the house is made of rubble stone with freestone coping. It features a square pier at the corner and similar gate piers leading to the yard on the north side of the house. The wall extends along the northwest side, marking the boundary of the formal garden, and continues as a ha-ha made of rock-faced stone, running in a northwest-southeast direction parallel to the front of the house. The ha-ha includes a slightly recessed gateway with square piers and wooden posts supporting a barred wooden gate. To the right, there are recently added steps directly in front of the house entrance, and the ha-ha extends to the end of the formal garden, continuing beyond as a rubble-stone field wall.
