The walled garden and gardener’s cottage The walled garden and cottage are 250 meters to the south-east of the house and were constructed at the same time as the hall, and again to the Repton's plans. The wall and cottage are Grade II listed. The garden is rectangular plan and is bounded with high brick walls which are part-buttressed at stress points around the enclosure. The south wall of the garden has a number of lean-to greenhouses either side of the boundary wall. There are several auxiliary buildings and potting sheds. At the north-east corner of the enclosure there is a two-storey gardener's cottage which is integral to the boundary wall and a further two building attached to the north wall. The enclosure has three access points. The main entrance is a double door with brick support piers to either side which is located in the middle of the west wall. There is a connecting driveway to the hall from here. A second entrance is in the north wall near to the buildings located there. The third access is a single door in the north east corner of the garden.
