Place & story

The house and diverted road

Leserragh House, formerly Mungapark House, dates from around 1820. The architectural inventory records that the road was diverted around its northern side during substantial mid-nineteenth-century alterations. A later glazed porch has carved timber bargeboards, decorative cresting and some coloured glass. Behind the house stand a limestone carriage house and further stone outbuildings, including a dairy added during the nineteenth century. [2]
