What is recorded here
Detached Gothic-style castellated country house, built 1835-8 on site of earlier house and castle. Comprises two rectangular-plan towers flanking two-storey castellated centre block. Larger, taller south-east tower battlemented and machicolated. Lower tower has bartizans. Battlemented screen wall to south, with turrets. House stands at end of avenue in landscaped grounds, with ruinous medieval church and graveyard to west, and traces of deserted medieval settlement.
This country house was burnt during the Troubles of the 1920s, but rebuilt with its original appearance. It is a substantial castellated building designed by the noted local architect, William Tinsley. The castle and its associated outbuildings are pleasantly sited and the gate lodge and gates at the main road enhance the approach.
