Retaining Wall adjoining Citrus House

The retaining wall adjoining Citrus House is a Grade II listed structure. It runs north for a short distance from the northeast corner of Citrus House, then curves and extends eastward, where it connects to a short wall that links the almshouses with Ivy Cottage. The wall is made of rubble stone and features a flat stone coping. It has six full-height raked buttresses with quoins along the north side, while soil is piled against the south side to create flower beds. There are doorways at each end of the wall. The doorway next to Citrus House has a shallow pointed head and a dressed limestone surround, while the east-facing side has a plain segmental head. At the eastern end, the wall rises slightly and includes an ornate doorway with a Gibbs surround. The wall that runs at right angles is constructed of narrow coursed rubble with flat stone coping and features a pointed arched dressed stone doorway with a boarded door to the north of the buttressed wall.
