Appraisal

The building has been vacant for a number of years and does not appear to be maintained. Most of the external fabric remains, but there are obvious signs of deterioration such as slipped slates, vegetation growth, broken windows and vandalism. There are concerns that the building could suffer further decay leading to more serious problems.

Permission for hotel and housing development was granted in 2007 (20053397). It is a mid 19th century Tudor revival house rendered with stone dressings. Gabled roof line and battlement tower. It was vacated by St. John of God religious institution. This building urgently requires new uses to be identified to prevent further deterioration of its character.

The house was on put on the market in 2017 for €325,000 (Irish Independent, 2017). Current ownership status unknown.
