Endsleigh House
GV II*
Retaining wall. Circa 1810 by Humphry Repton for the 6th Duke of Bedford. Hurdwick
stone rubble with rough capping stones. Retaining wall to the flower beds above the
terrace to the south east of Endsleigh House formerly Endsleigh Cottage (qv). The
wall has round-headed rusticated blind arches with keystones, the arches grouped in
threes between wide pilasters. The wall is right-angled and higher at its south end
where a large round-headed blind arch forms a recess which formerly contained a
rustic seat. Repton's proposals for the landscape at Endsleigh complemented Sir
Jeffry Wyatville's design for Endsleigh Cottage and one of the finest views of the
house is from the terrace. The combination of house and landscape has been described
as constituting "the whole meaning of Picturesque" (Hussey). The wall is illustrated
in the Endsleigh Red Book (1814).
