Greenhouses and attached kitchen garden wall. Circa 1857 and 1899. Central glass-house, of two-storey height, almost square, and with canted corners to front, linked by low linear ranges of approximately twenty glazing bays each, to smaller end pavilions. Red brick plinth. Brick rear walls to linking sections are part of the garden walls.

Central pavilion has pyramidal roof, with narrow glazed upstand running from front to rear along ridge, with small bargeboards and iron finial to front. End pavilions gabled, with plain bargeboards and iron finials. Front of central pavilion, excluding corners, divided into seven vertical glazing bays, each subdivided into rectangular panes, with frieze of lunettes under eaves. Glazed central double doors. Four glazing bays to gable of each end pavilion, with larger panes towards base, small panes above, and lunette to each gable.

Interior retains fittings for regulation of ventilation, and stands for plants. Four Corinthian columns with cast iron spandrels and decorative bases, painted in blue and cream, to central pavilion. Attached brick garden walls form a rectangle mainly of Flemish bond brickwork, but Sussex bond to south, with moulded stone coping and brick buttresses at regular intervals. This varies in height between about ten feet to the sides and eight feet to the front. At the south east corner it abuts the carriage arch to the main house.
