II

Garden walls, gardener's bothy and bridge, partly forming the north, east and south boundary to RAF Headley Court (qv). Late C19/early C20. Red brick wall with cornice of diagonally set bricks, crowned by a tiled pitched roof. To the north of the laid out garden this includes a double-arched brick gazebo under a Flemish gable with a cast iron sundial. On the north end of the eastern wall is a polygonal brick and flint gardener's bothy with conical tiled roof. At the south-east end the wall forms a bridge with conically capped and brick enriched circular pillars. To the east of the house a length of red brick wall having and urn crowned pillar closes the lilly pond before continuing south past the house to include a good cast iron gate with scrolled side panels and overthrow. At the southern boundary the wall becomes brick and flint with brick arcading and ball-capped columns. One column appears to have the globe from the northern garden sundial. A further cast iron gate leads into a massive beech tunnel.
