Appraisal
This Georgian former Queen Anne mansion has been imaginatively incorporated into the facilities of the Templeogue Bridge Club and, despite recent refurbishment and extension, retains its original proportions and some materials, including to the interior. The original setting at the end of a grand avenue of trees still stands, even amongst modern development.
