Description
The structure consists of a series of extensive rubble stone walls located to the north of the site of St Brides mansion. These walls enclose a large rectangular walled garden that runs east to west, with a narrow forecourt of the same depth at the eastern end. There is an additional walled area of the same depth to the east, which is about one quarter the length of the main garden, and the cottages of The Green, which are listed separately, are built onto the north side of this area. A further wall extends diagonally to the east-northeast from the southeast corner towards the lane at the east for approximately 100 metres.
The forecourt features a notable northern entrance gateway with a cambered-arched entry set to the left, which is topped by a heavily corbelled embattled parapet. This parapet has five large crenellations, with loops in the central three. Inside the forecourt, there are embattled walls on both sides, and another cambered-headed archway opens to the west into the main walled garden. The front of this garden also features a corbelled embattled parapet. At the western end of the walled garden, there is a small doorway leading into the garden of the former vicarage, which has stone voussoirs and is marked with the scratched date of 1757. On the outside of the north wall, near the main gateway, there is a roofless lean-to structure believed to have been a smithy, which includes a window, door, and another window on the front, along with a curved hearth in the left end wall.
