Comprising a screen on the north side with a summerhouse at the centre, in the form ofa Greek Doric hexastyle apteral temple, and flanking porticos, distyle in antis; in front of the screen there is a terrace with vases and steps down to a formal garden with low boundary walls and an elaborately shaped parterre at the centre with large moulded curb stones. The parterre has been converted to a fish pond. The summerhouse is a finely detailed Greek Doric temple; inside it is semi-circular and ashlar lined with pilastered walls with niches and a stone bench.
