Entrance gateway and retaining wall (which is dated 1827) with railings.
Stone gateway composed of wide Tudor arch with moulded and battlemented coping carried between tall battlemented piers with trefoil panels.

Eight courses of stone blocks with overhanging rounded coping, on which stand stick-baluster iron railings with Gothic arches formed in the heads, divided into groups of 20 by shaped posts with urn finials, carrying a spiked rail. Incorporated in wall opposite the end of Sandy Lane is the lintel of a former doorway incised "1827". At the west end the wall slopes downwards and has no railings.
