Appraisal
Part of a group of wonderful demesne outbuildings, together forming large enclosed courtyard and grounds. The original qualities and charm of the walled garden are still present due to the consistent use of red brick and its technical use as part of the features within. This former garden area is a valuable asset, preserving the historic character of the former demesne property.
