Edenfel is on the outskirts of Omagh, not far from Crevenagh to the north-west.
The original gardens had fallen into disrepair, though the grounds are thickly planted with surviving trees.
Shelter renewal planting has taken place since 1972 and augmented with the assistance of a government grant in the early 1990s.
A terraced ornamental garden, adjacent to the house, is partly walled and retains the box-edged beds.
