Description Edward C. Hill was leasing this property from Francis Hughes at the time of Griffiths Valuation in the early 1850s, when it was valued at £17. It is visible but not labelled on the 1st edition OS map but is shown as Viewmount House on the later 25-inch edition. The Ordnance Survey Name Books described it as 'a good dwelling house with a good kitchen garden' in the mid-1830s. The National Built Heritage Service associates the property with the Cuffe and Pakenham families and dates the original house to the mid-18th century. It has, in the past, been operated as a luxury guesthouse
