Description This house was not built at the time of the first edition OS map (1838). It is a four-bay two-storey over basement house built in an Italianate style about 1852 for John Perry to designs by John Skipton Mulvany (1813-1870). The Perry Family were a prominent milling family in Ballynagore, having bought out the milling interests of the Mulock family in 1838, and owned the large mill to the southwest of the village and other extensive buildings in the locality at the time of Griffith’s Valuation (publ. 1854). The Perrys held their milling interests from the Very Rev Charles Vignoles. At this time the house was valued at £35 and was the residence of John Marshall. Now functions as a Bed and Breakfast.
