Description

A two and-a-half-storey five-bay 18th century Georgian house. Screened from public view, the house is located at the end of a long meandering driveway through wooded landscape. Well sited with extensive views across the landscape through an opening in the surrounding woods. Despite internal alterations to reflect the previous function as a nursing home high quality detailing still remains intact. Externally the house has retained its proportions with a symmetrically arranged front elevation displaying the characteristics of the Georgian period. The site has been subject to a planning application LA05/2018/0514/LBC for an enabling development scheme for the development of a dementia care nursing home, which is still under consideration Refs: HERoNI
