Description Philip O’Reilly was leasing this property from the Blackall estate at the time of Griffiths Valuation, when it was valued at almost £23. The property was associated with the Blackall family by whom, according to O'Brien, it was built c.1830. Later in the nineteenth century it came into the possession of the O’Reilly family. Towards the end of World War II it was, for a time, the home of Prince Ernest, Duke of Saxony. Since the early 21st century, it has been undergoing restoration and now serves as venue for occasional gardening courses.
