Appraisal
An extensive group of outbuildings and walled garden associated with Bogay House, which although no longer serving their original function give some idea of the scale of support required for a large country estate. The former coach house was one of a pair that formed a courtyard through which coaches to and from Bogay House would have passed. The remnants of the now demolished coach house can be seen as two pillars on the northern side of the north wall of the walled garden. The stone and slate memorial slabs, set into the wall of the walled garden, dating from 1814 to 1970 add to the significance of the site.
