The National Monuments Service's description

The Down Survey (1655-6) map shows a house at 'Backstowne' where Westownpark House is located today. This house was occupied by Thomas Sedgrave, a member of a Dublin mercantile family. After the Restoration Backweston House had become a residence of Sir Bryan O'Neill, a baronet and Knight (Ball 1906, 60). The present building is a three bay Georgian House with later additions.
