Late 18th century. 2 chambered, near-U-plan walled garden with tall holly hedge to S; early 19th century summerhouse. Random rubble with rubble coping, tooled long and short dressings to gateways.
N CHAMBER: timber lean-to glasshouses to NE corner, much glass missing but workings still in place; flanked to right by broad gateway with modern boarded timber gate; boarded-up gateway to NW. Vertically boarded timber potting shed to centre of SE wall. Small brick boiler house to outer wall at NE.
S CHAMBER: dividing wall supported by modern concrete buttresses to E; modern timber lean-to to NE corner, gateway under canopy to right with panelled timber door; gateway to S of E wall; gateway with panelled timber door to N of W wall. Summerhouse (see below) to centre of N wall, flanked to right by boarded timber gate and to outer right by boarded gateway with modern concrete gatepiers; 2 boarded-up gateways flanking to left.
SUMMERHOUSE: random sandstone rubble with lightly droved dressings. Pointed-arched openings; overhanging eaves. Boarded timber door to centre, flanked to left and right by paired windows, some glass missing. Right and left returns blank. Red pantiled roof, missing to E. Boarded timber-lined interior. Low rubble enclosing wall with near-flat coping.
Modern "Soutar Cottage" within walled garden not included in listing. The omission of Fetteresso Walled Garden from the 1st and 2nd Edition OS. maps is curious as the walls, which survive in remarkable condition, undoubtedly pre-date the 20th century. The unusual summerhouse was supposedly where the ladies from nearby Fetteresso Castle (see separate listing) came to drink tea and enjoy the view on fine afternoons.
