Grade B2 Listed House, 1800–1819
Warrenpoint, Narrow Water Castle Estate

The Garden House, together with the walled garden, forms part of the overall Narrow Water Castle 18th-century estate grouping. We have been advising on a series of repairs and internal decoration works to this picturesque building.

This two-storey/three-bay gardener’s house is located within a walled garden extending to 2.3 acres. It has a hipped natural slate roof with advanced eaves and exposed timber rafter tails carrying half-round cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered, granite-coped chimneys rise from each end elevation.

The walls are dry-dashed with stepped stucco quoins. Original sash windows survive throughout the house, and there is an octagonal painted masonry opening containing a picturesque quatrefoil window.

The porch has a decorative 19th-century timber fretted bargeboard and decorative finial. The front door is four-panelled and bolectionmoulded. It has a transom with rounded top corners and two-paned round-headed sidelights rising to flank the transom.
