House at Lough Beg By McGonigle McGrath In BELLAGHY, UNITED KINGDOM

The site is located within the partly walled demesne of Ballyscullion Park, on the shores of Lough Beg in mid-Ulster.
The park was established in the late 18th Century for a dwelling that was never completed, a later house by Lanyon in the 1840s now commands the demesne, overlooking the lough, with distant views beyond. Most of the character of the original parkland has survived in an unusually pure form. It is an almost perfect invocation of place; a classical idealized and austere landscape with the simplest manner of augmentation, relying solely on the planting of large tree clumps. The house is situated on the edge of one of these clumps, in a natural clearing of ancient oak woodland.
