Description
This is an early 19th-century walled garden, extending to 2.204 hectares. It is defined by 3-metre-high rubble walls forming an irregularly shaped enclosure. The main entrance is on the southwest side, slightly to the left of Garden Cottage, featuring tall piers constructed of squared rubble. These piers include raised tables and coping stones, rebated to have held gates which are now missing. A smaller entrance for the gardener is situated behind Garden Cottage. This entrance is flanked by squared rubble piers with a low doorway; the doorway has an elliptical stone voussoir head, a string course above, and rubble infill overhead. Continuous coping runs along the top of the walls with stone ball finials on the piers. A timber planked and studded door secures the main entrance. Additional doorways are located in the southeast and northeast corners, both featuring boarded doors and stone voussoir heads. A derelict, single-storey rubble building stands in the northeast corner. The garden itself is overgrown and largely disused.
