Gates at outer entrance guarded by a pair of sphinxes mounted on rectangular pedestals, these linked by low walls, L-shaped in plan, to a set-back pair of massive clustered piers, which have pilasters on 4 sides and detached columns on 3 sides, all these decorated with vermiculated bands, with joined-up entablature and very prominent cornice, and each surmounted by an heraldic beast displaying a shield and looking towards the house. Included in the item is the straight retaining wall running from the outer side of these piers for the full width of the forecourt; this wall is of rubble, with a rounded coping.
