Architect: Charles Lanyon
Ballyedmond Castle was a Tudor-Baronial mansion, with pointed gables, mullioned windows; a battlemented tower and conical-roofed turret. At one stage, the house was being used as a hotel. The original mansion was largely destroyed by fire-bomb damage and planning permission was granted for a change of use and reconstruction.
