The earlier house Clanhugh Lodge was the residence of the Earl of Granard in 1814 and in 1837 described as a lodge belonging to Lord Forbes. Valued at £12 the building was occupied by James Lugden who held it from the Earl at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854). The present five-bay two-storey Italianate country house, was built in 1867, to the design of William Caldbeck (1824-1872), for Colonel F.S. Greville, later Lord Greville, who purchased much of the Forbes lands in this area in 1859. Francis Nulty of Kells was the builder.
