A seventeenth-century plantation manor near Moneymore, a whitewashed house with curved gables and a symmetrical facade set in wooded grounds. Home to ten generations of the Lenox-Conyngham family, it retains their furniture, portraits, library and a noted costume collection displayed in the outbuildings. The estate includes a walled garden, beech avenue and a reputedly haunted blue room. Its modest scale and long single-family occupation give it an intimate character rare among the grander mansions of the region.
