Remains of grassed terraces built into sloping ground north of the terrace wall. The embankments are now covered by self-seeded Sycamores. This area was the site of a conservatory, described in Gardeners Magazine in 1834. Now piles of bricks and stone remain. A stone boundary wall and railings survive, along with iron tree guards, stretches of stone kerb and drainage. There is a fine 19th century cedar tree to the east of the towered gateway. Plinth of an urn or statue. The fragments of garden ornaments are in danger of deteriorating quickly. Views through the area are obscured by the Sycamore.

Description
The formal terrace is defined to the south and west by a battered sandstone wall, parallel with the former south face of the Nash House (HER 8183), that ranges in height from 0.5m to 3m. Some remnants of ornamental planting survive, including yew and rhododendron. The stone base of a garden ornament is hidden in the undergrowth to the east. Two large trees, a Wellingtonia and a Giant Redwood, survive along the edge of the terrace walls. A group of mature Yew trees occupy the south-west corner of the terrace around an artificial mound. The masonry and copings of the terrace wall are mostly intact although only remnants of the railings remain. The once open character of the grassed terrace and its relationship with the Nash House has virtually been lost. Views from the terrace over fields to the south are still uninterrupted, but the terrace itself is very overgrown and its shape difficult to discern beneath the weeds and shrubs. Possibly built over an earlier terrace.
