Background
Description
Built in the style of a "cottage orné", the single storey house is set in a partly-walled demesne in 100 acre of parkland and woodland. It features unique local thatching using Shannon reeds. The park includes woodland belts, a largely unused walled kitchen garden, a small quarry, and a short walking trail. There are four gate lodges within the grounds, including the head gardener's house, known as Hortus Lodge. These were added in the 19th century, one before 1834, two before 1861 and one before 1906.
