          Description
              Coped ashlar walls of 20th century date and 19th century date where they formerly surrounded North Dene House (HER 7452). To the east, against Durham Road, there is a tall rubble wall with sloping coping stone. The outside face of the wall is ashlar. To the north-east there are gate piers with neo-Greek mouldings similar to those which existed on North Dene House. Part of the wall has a brick inner skin, this probably relates to the kitchen garden area of North Dene House. The boundary walls have been reconstructed in many areas and include several blocked openings.
