Cadw's description
Location
Fronting the road and forming the N boundary to the grounds of Lislea House. The wall adjoins the former stables to the W.
History
Probably of 1826 and contemporary with the former vicarage (now Lislea House) and the stable block.
Exterior
High red brick wall in English bond with flat stone copings and brick plinth. To the far R, close to the former stables, is a square brick pier with monolithic stone band and flat capstone. To its L is a narrow entrance with similar piers but without stone bands, blocked with C20 red brick. The main entrance to Lislea House is to the L. Quadrant walls curve in towards brick piers with stone bands, between which are low cast iron gates with scrolls to the top and bottom rails and no finials. Panels reading 'Lislea' and 'House' are fixed to the gates. To the L of the main entrance is a 2nd narrow entrance with piers as before. It has a shallow segmental brick head and is blocked with C20 red brick. The wall continues for some distance to the E where there is a pair of square sandstone piers with plain capstones, between which are C20 wooden garage doors. The wall terminates with a square pier. A further wall runs behind at right angles.
Reason for designation
Listed as a long boundary wall which adds character to the streetscape. Group value with Lislea House (former vicarage) and stable block.
