Description Home of the Bowen family, occupied by Mrs Bowen in 1814, by J. Bowen in 1837 and by John Bowen in the early 1850s when it was valued at £28 and held in fee. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that parts of the property were rebuilt c.1930 following the burning of the original house in June 1920. In the early 1940s the Irish Tourist Authority noted that it had been lived in by some years by a well-known actress, "Miss Lilly-Elsie" who was married to Major Ian Bullough. It is now known as Oakpark House.
