Vine houses: brick plinths with blocked arched openings (for roots to grow through); small-pane glazing; doors in returns. Root beds have low retaining walls with chamfered tile coping. Rear: right-hand garden house has 4-panel door and 2 old small-pane windows; rest of range has late C20 doors and small-pane windows, roof heightened, and left-hand section extended forward slightly. Interior: conservatory has elegant frame with 4 columns at centre supporting clerestory and having decorative capitals and open- work arch braces; fretted main roof ribs with radial quadrant braces; original door and window fittings; slate shelf on decorative iron bench with front grille against rear wall (those formerly against other walls removed), and above it, fruit supports.
