| Description |
Lewis records R. Monsell as resident at Slevoir in 1837. The Reverend Francis Synge was the occupier at the time of Griffith's Valuation, holding the property from the representatives of Mr Steele. The buildings were valued at £34. The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage states that the present house was built in the Italianate style in the 1870s for Lieutenant Colonel J.F. Hickey by John McCurdy. In the early 1940s General Carlos J. Hickie was the owner and the house contained very beautiful furnishings and valuable family pictures according to the Irish Tourist Association surveyor. This house sold for over £3 million in 2000 and was offered for sale again in 2011. |
