Set on three-quarters of an acre on gardens that slope down to the River Clody, this grand old Georgian house was built in the early 1900s and has been restored in recent decades. It is set against the backdrop of the hardwood forests of the Newtownbarry estate, but just off the main town square of Bunclody. The principal living accommodation is a two-bed apartment on the second floor as the ground floor has been used as a tearooms/restaurant
