Description

The walled kitchen garden is a rectangular enclosure covering approximately 1.5 acres. It features a high wall made of rubble masonry topped with stone tile coping. The main entrance is located to the south, providing access to the driveway, and consists of centrally placed planked double gates with open panels at the top. In the west wall, there is a central planked door set beneath a segmental stone arch with voussoirs. A similar opening exists in the north wall but is currently blocked. The east side contains three doorways leading into the Frame Yard, all planked and topped with flat stone lintels. The southern and central doorways have dressed reveals, while the northern doorway replaces a blocked entrance to its right, which previously had a segmental arched head with voussoirs. The top of the east wall is uneven, featuring two gables just to the right of the northern doorway, likely remnants of former glasshouses in the Frame Yard, along with a lower section of wall above the central doorway.

Inside the garden, the area is mostly empty and covered in grass, but there are remains of a circular stone feature at the center. In the southeast corner, facing north, there is a single-storey lean-to constructed of snecked masonry with timber boning, topped with a heavily vegetated roof. This structure has a later entrance to the right and a window with timber struts to the left. It has been recently used as a horse shelter.
