TQ3602NE THE GREEN, Rottingdean 577-1/60/1089 Walls to Kipling Gardens and related 13/10/52 buildings (Formerly Listed as: THE GREEN, Rottingdean Garden wall of The Elms)

GV II

Garden walls. Probably of C18 and C19 date. Flint and cobbles with red brick dressings. Approx 70 metres on the south side as far as the public shelter, including a plaque recording the fact that Rudyard Kipling lived at The Elms (qv) between 1897 and 1903; the shelter is a former outbuilding of The Elms, of flint with brick dressings, roof of tiles, bracketed awning to south, open on the north and east sides, gabled dormers, hipped roof; approx 10 further metres to the south-west corner. On the west side, approx 75 metres, including some brickwork perhaps relating to cottages formerly on the site; on the north side, approx 80 metres including 2 sets of gates; on the east side, approx 80 metres as far as the renovated garage building to The Elms, and a further stretch of approx 20 metres. Within the gardens there are 3 additional ranges of walls; one approx 25 metres east of the west wall, approx 80 metres in length; another approx 15 metres east of that, approx 75 metres in length; and a third, running east-west, approx 8 metres south of the north wall, approx 60 metres in length; there are also a pergola with flint columns at the centre of the gardens, and at their north-west corner, 2 lean-to sheds of flint with brick dressings and flat-arched windows, one slightly higher than the other; these are said to have been outhouses in connection with cottages at the north-west corner of the Gardens. Among the walls there are generally openings, some of them rebated for doors or gates. The former listing, which applied to the boundary walls of the garden of The Elms (qv), has been extended here to include all the walls incorporated in Kipling Gardens when it became a public garden in 1983.
