Description
The former greenhouse at the Breachacha Estate dates from the later 18th century and is situated within a large square-plan walled garden. It features a large doorway in the center of the slightly taller southwest wall and a small brick arched gateway to the northeast. The walls are constructed of rubble with roughly hewn quoins and fine pinnings. There is a collapsed section to the north of the northwest wall. The greenhouse, which was originally built on a brick base, includes cast-iron brackets and later sheet roofing on the northeast side. At the center of the garden, there is a circle of paved stones.
