Attyflin House is an important country house. It retains much of its original character and special features, including the robust Gibbsian doorcase and ornate coat of arms, contribute significantly to its architectural interest. A courtyard of outbuildings and a bow-ended walled garden contribute significantly to the setting of the estate. Attyflin House was the birthplace of Thomas Johnson Westropp (1860-1922) who was a notable antiquarian and collector of folklore.
