Garden steps. 1848-1860, by John Bateman. Dressed stone, chamfered ashlar to back panel with vermiculated panel to base. In 3 tiers, 5 flights and 4 landings, taking path from house to the lower garden level. Broad flights running in symmetrical opposing directions; low ramped balustrades and squat, moulded, panelled end piers. Back panel retaining wall with round-arch niche and fretted balustrade over; shallow circular stone vase on plinth set in front of recess. The steps front Bateman's personal study and therefore presumably marks the intended debut of the main perambulation of his grounds, elaborately laid out and including Chinese Garden, avenues and pinetum.
