Walled Garden, Elie House

The walled garden, located to the south of the engine-house at Elie House, dates largely to the mid-18th century. It is a large, rectangular enclosure, although the west side is splayed. The walls are constructed of coursed rubble with a flagged cope and droved ashlar margins. The north wall incorporates a brick lining and a later 19th-century glasshouse at its west end. A convex projection extends into the garden from the middle of the south side, featuring a central gate flanked by a pair of V-jointed, rusticated piers with a cornice and pineapple finials (the western finial is missing). Behind the greenhouses on the north wall is a long range of lean-to sheds and boiler-houses built with rubble walls and slated roofs. A large, 20th-century iron-framed shed with a pitched slated roof sits to the south of the garden.
