Appraisal
Occupying the position of a kitchen garden in existence since the early nineteenth century a substantial walled garden enhances the setting value of the Coolmore House estate while attesting to the various services put in place to assist in the operation of a large-scale landholding: a glass house of modest appearance contributes pleasantly to the aesthetic appeal of the site.
