Statement of Interest

Bargaly House was built for Andrew Heron in 1694, apparently by

"Mr Hawkins, an Englishman", and replaced an earlier house. However, there is now visible evidence of 1694 fabric. Additions were made to the rear between 1849 and 1894. In 1917 Rogers noted that "the house has in recent times been enlarged and a new approach made to it".

B Group with Bargaly Lodge, Gatepiers and Railings; Sundial; Sundial Dated 1828; Tomb of Andrew Heron; Walled Garden (see separate listings).
