Description
Golden Grove Garden Seat and Stairs is a garden feature located at the top of a small slope in the lawn to the south of Golden Grove. It consists of three flights of stairs, each with six steps, approximately 6 meters wide, and bordered by rounded kerbs. At the top of the stairs, aligned with the steps, is a half-round garden seat made of limestone. This seat is supported on four brackets and has a chamfered edge. On either side of the seat, there is a narrower flight of six steps that provides access to the garden beyond.
