Appraisal
This large walled garden was added to the east of the earlier house at Ennismore during the Victorian era and has been very well-maintained. The red brick is an attractive alternative to the rubble limestone more commonly seen in the construction of garden walls of this type. A number of small garden structures lend added interest to this garden which provides a pleasing setting for the main house.
