Walled garden, possibly dating from the early 19th century, within Ury House designed landscape (NO88NE0104). It is a rectangular-plan walled garden with flat-coped brick walls. The north wall has a heated raised centre incorporating flues and tall polygonal cans. The south elevation has two lean-to glasshouses, that to the west with a corrugated roof. There are lean-to potting sheds to the north elevation with retaining ashlar margins and some diamond-pattern leaded glazing in casement windows. To the west are two-leaf timber gates and ball-finialled channelled ashlar gatepiers. The south wall entrance retains a single channelled ashlar gatepier. The east wall has a voussoired pedestrian door leading to the former coach house (NO88NE0165). Standing building survey was carried out by Alder Archaeology in 2021 in advance of proposed redevelopment. The garden interior was thickly overgrown, but walls, gardener's bothy, workshop and greenhouses were substantially intact. Graffiti from the early-mid 20th century was noted on the interior walls of the bothy.
