| Description |
Built circa 1840 for Alexander Mitchell, agent to the Shirley estate. This house was the home of the Mitchell family until sold in 1864 to the Kane family. It is named on the 1st edition 6 inch Ordnance Survey map (1836) with an extensive walled garden at the rear. Griffith’s Valuation records the value of the buildings at £25 held by Henry Mitchell in fee. It was still in the ownership of the Kane family in the early 20th century. The house was derelict in the early 21st century. It was purchased by millionaire Gerry McCaughey with a view to turning it into a hotel and equestrian centre (Irish Independent, 25 May 2008) but this does not seem to have come to fruition. |
