Early 18th-century house, comprising two storeys over basement, constructed of well-dressed cut stone. Bence-Jones (1978, 47) recorded that there was originally a dormered attic in a high-pitched roof. The house was partially destroyed by fire in 1922 (local information). Following this the house was reconstructed but without the upper storey. Over the modified Venetian doorway are the coat of arms of Samuel Achmuty, the original owner of the house, and a date of 1731. This house replaced an earlier house (LF013-060001-) built by Arthur Auchmuty who was of Scottish descent. He was a captain in the Cromwellian army and defended Castle Forbes during the Irish rebellion of 1641 and later died in 1698 (Burke 1847, 736).
