This house was built by the sixth Viscount Netterville, and is a well designed building, which is representative of mid eighteenth-century architecture in Ireland. The building is articulated with ashlar limestone dressings, with channelling to the entrance level, string courses and alternating pediments to upper floor. The building retains many interesting features and materials, such as the slate roof, timber sash windows and timber conservatory. The building retains fine interior features, which have been attributed to Robert West.
