Most recently used as a farmhouse, the home is said to be on the site of a monastery. Likely built as a cottage orné (a deceptive name, given its grandeur), as part of the Lanisley Manor. In 1796 the house was bought from the Kenegie Estate by Mr George John whose wealth came from his profession as a lawyer and through mining speculation.
