Survey report (S2) describes the garden, which has an ornamental brick wall built up against the wall of the adjoining property. The wall probably dates to the 18th century and a central niche with a stone pedestal for a piece of sculpture. Although this is a simple structure it is a rare survival in the garden of a smaller town house.
