Only visible traces of latter are red-brick and concrete foundations with remains of cast-iron pipe heating system (heated by kiln to east) and rubble limestone wall of lean-to vinery with red-brick quoins and plinth. Eastern vinery and lean-to vinery recently restored having timber-framed glazing to walls and roofs. Many original foundations now used as flower beds with gravel paths between to allow easy access. Red-brick English bond walls to north and east of glasshouse area having square-headed door openings to eastern wall to allow access to kiln and exterior storage block. Ornate cast-iron grating to paved area.
