Brief history
The Annesborough renovation project began with a property rich in character and stories. Originally built in the early 1900s, the house once served as a hunting lodge for Lord Lurgan during the war. While preparing for the build, the client uncovered a treasure trove of historical artifacts in the attic - soldiers’ swords, gas masks, and ration cards - silent echoes of the past that hinted at the building’s wartime significance
Though the structure had served its time, in 2022 it was carefully demolished to make way for a new home. One year later, a modern house now stands in its place - honouring the spirit of the original while embracing the comfort and design of today.
