The property dates back to 1765, where it was first owned by the Barter family, and has subsequently been owned by various Irish families over the last 200 years. In 1995, it was purchased by American singer-songwriter Tori Amos, who used it as a recording studio and restored the house inside and out. The house even appeared in a music video for the song Star Whisperer, from Tori’s 12th studio album.
