Finnebrogue House near Downpatrick Co Down.
Reputedly the oldest undefended large house in Ireland with internal timbers dating to 1662, though there are musket loops in the projecting side wings to cover the entrance. The building is understated in its architecture, but with some very grand spaces inside. it was restored from near ruin to a high standard by the present owner from 2011 and sits in well kept parkland with an axial view to the estate church spire from the front door. An elegant well restored country house in beautiful surroundings.
