Place & story

Parkstown House and yard

Parkstown House dates from around 1790, with a five-bay front rising above a basement. Limestone steps lead to a rounded stone doorway framed by pilasters. The architectural inventory records an extensive group of outbuildings to the south and southwest, including a carriage arch, domestic accommodation and a stone engraved with the date 1790. A large walled garden lies to the south of the house. [2]
