Cadw's description
Location
To the south-east of West Farm on the opposite side of the road.
History
C18 to C19; shown on Tithe Plan of 1840. Enclosed gardens detached from the house appear to be a feature of Llantwit Major and this is the most notable example (see also Boverton House).
Exterior
D-shaped garden enclosed by limestone rubble walls with rough coping about 2m in height. Entrance in north-west side between square stone gate piers in centre. A further taller stone pier with flat coping at north-east end of north-west wall; this is a more formal lenght of wall about 1.25m in height facing directly to the farmhouse.
Reason for designation
Included for group value with West Farm and as a fine example of a detached walled garden in an urban context.
