History
The present property was created in 1998 by converting the remaining glass house and stone potting sheds into a unique 5 bedroom family home. The conversion keeps to the original footprint of the buildings and uses almost exclusively, materials found on site, plus reclaimed materials. For example, the windows were specially designed and built from reclaimed pitch pine (which requires minimal maintenance with oil) and the interior windowsills are made from slate reclaimed on site. All reception rooms have characterful reclaimed wooden floors and the dramatic ceiling in the main reception room features massive beams reclaimed from a mill in Belfast.
