The terrace breaks forward at the south-east corner beyond which the retaining wall continues north before terminating at a broad flight of 19 steps with ramped side walls. At the foot of the steps is an iron side gate; at the head is a balustrade with 10 Tudor-arched openings which closes the north end of the terrace. A short section of wall across north end of house finishes at a flight of steps with a pair of Gothic Revival gates. Listing NGR: SK2206367638.' (1)
