The National Monuments Service's description

Originally built in 1739 for Henry and John Puxley, this country house was extensively rebuilt and remodeled in the 1860s for Henry Lavallin-Puxley by architect John Christopher. Burned in 1921 it remained a ruin until the mid-2000s when work commenced on its conversion to a hotel (Irish Examiner, 7 May 2011). The house is irregular in plan with castellated towers and gabled projections. Imposing Victorian 2-storey over basement addition to E, built by Puxley in 1880 (Bence Jones 1978, 114) with steeply pitched gables, single stacks, bay and oriel windows; unusual series of pointed arches over main hall. (Bence Jones 1978, 114; Power et al. 1992, no. 3406; http://www.buildingsofireland.ie/niah/search.jsp?type=record&county=CO&regno=20912801, accessed 6 Oct. 2017)
