| Description |
Coolderry House, located close to the bank of the River Lagan, was the home of the Forster family, baronets. It was a two storey house built in the late 18th century on the Brownlow estate. The buildings were valued at £45. A lithograph of the house is part of the Encumbered Estates sale rental of 4 April 1854. The demesne was described as 'beautifully planted' and the house as 'spacious, with suitable out-offices, stabling etc, built in a permanent manner, and at present in the most perfect order'. At the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1860), Sir George Forster was resident holding the property from the Reverend Anthony Garstin. Home of Claude Brownlow, estate agent, and family at the beginning of the 20th century. Bence Jones writes that the house was sold by Claude Brownlow’s son, Colonel Guy James Brownlow, in 1920. The house was later demolished. |
