Description
The walled kitchen garden is rectangular and encloses approximately 1.5 acres. It consists of a high wall of rubble masonry with stone tile coping. The main entrance to the exterior is to the S, providing access to the driveway. It consists of centrally placed planked double gates with open panels at the top. In the W wall is a central planked door under a segmental stone arch with voussoirs. There is a similar opening in the N wall but it is blocked. The E side has 3 doorways which lead into the Frame Yard, all planked under flat stone lintels. The S and central ones have dressed reveals and that to the N replaces a blocked entrance immediately to its R which had a segmental arched head with voussoirs. The top of the E wall is not level; there are 2 gables just R of the N doorway probably reflecting former glass-houses in the Frame Yard, while there is a lower section of wall above the central doorway.
The interior of the compound is empty and grassed over, but the remains of a circular stone feature survive in the centre. In the SE corner facing N is a single storey lean-to of snecked masonry with timber boning under a heavily vegetated roof. It has an entrance, probably later, to the R and a window with timber struts to the L. It has recently been used as a horse shelter.
