About Idrone
The National Inventory rates Idrone Regional, one of 8 in Knocklyon. Its record dates Idrone to 1770–1820. One other place on the record stands within 400 m.
Despite encroaching development, this house manages partly to retain its original setting due to the large tree in the garden. It possesses much original fabric and unusual proportions, with a low ground floor sill level, and acts as a landmark in the area.

When was Idrone built?

Being on the National Inventory or the Sites and Monuments Record is a record, not protection by itself: buildings are protected by their council’s Record of Protected Structures, which each council keeps and no national open list gathers, so this page can’t say which are on it.
