Description
The Walled Garden at Drygrange House is possibly from the 17th century, with later alterations made at various times. It is a large walled garden located to the east of the house. The earliest sections, made of rubble, may date back to the 17th century and include a roundel on the west wall, which has since been rebuilt with ashlar copings. Some parts are lined with brick, and the gateways were reconstructed in ashlar around 1906, designed by D M Peddie and C G H Kinnear.
An elaborate Jacobean gateway is found on the west side, featuring fluted Roman-Doric pilasters, a broken pediment, and Jacobethan obelisk finials. The arched entrance is adorned with decorative wrought-iron gates from 1906. A section of the wall to the right, which is the southern part of the west wall, has been rebuilt in brick.
The garden is now accompanied by a late 20th-century house and a contemporary landscaped garden, all set within the walls.
