In the mid 19th century it was valued at £85. In 1897 it was completely destroyed by an accidental fire. The site of the house is now a car park for those wishing to visit the Vandeleur Walled Garden, which has recently been restored, or to walk in the woods.

It was the home of Mrs Gore (nee Studdert) in the 1940s but according to the Irish Tourist Association surveyor it was not in good repair and "likely to go the way of all the other big houses of Clare".
