Garden Terrace Wall to N of the site of the house

The former house stood on a wide platform site, from which steps led down to the N to terraces and finally, a parterre garden. The E side of the terrace is retained by a high revetment wall with parapet. It has N and E walls with returns to the S and W respectively. The revetment is of coursed grey rock-faced stone. The parapets are limestone panels pierced with quatrefoils in lozenges, separated by square piers. At the angles of the lozenges are foliate bosses, all different. Moulded copings and a string course with Tudor flower decoration. At the NE corner is a diagonal buttress, above which is a spout and gargoyle in the form of a bearded and bespectacled man. Along the E side is an arched recess, constructed to protect the roots of a nearby oak tree.
