Ardress House was originally a modest farmhouse which was transformed in 1760 by Dublin architect, George Ensor. It is run by the National Trust and contains excellent examples of 18th century furniture and a good display of paintings. Amongst its many features is the plasterwork in the drawing room by Michael Stapleton, dating back to 1780. The farmyard and outbuildings show aspects of farming history with a display of farm implements. There is a pleasant garden with examples of early types of Irish rose.
