North end of west boundary wall red and grey brick in a Flemish-type bond, on galleted ragstone base, about 9' high, and extending about 85' from north-west corner to first gatepier; also returns from north-west corner to form north boundary of garden. Gateway to north of centre of west wall has rectangular piers (to which wall is ramped down), with moulded cornice and ball finials. Wooden gates, ramped up to piers at ends. Central section of west wall about 4' high built of coursed ragstone, with red and grey brick parapet, extending about 90' between gateways, opposite house. Gateway to south of centre of west wall similar to north-central gateway. Beyond it, stone wall continues about 60' south-south-east to gateway to former stable yard, which is similar to the other gateways. Thereafter the wall increases in height, with chequered red and grey brick above a galleted stone base, continuing about 225' south-east bordering Ewell Lane, then reducing to height of stone base for a further 55'.
