Elsewhere, the gardens have a number of fruit bushes and native beech trees, oak trees & chestnut trees. The property also has the benefit of a sandstone patio to the rear and a metal garden shed. The Lodge was built circa 1830, as the rear Gate Lodge to Sharavogue House and Demense (constructed in 1820s); seat of John Craven Westenra who was MP for Kings County from 1835 to 1852. Westenra was the 3rd son of the Earl of Rossmore (County Monaghan) and his mother was Mary Ann Walsh of Walsh Park, near Riverstown, Co Tipperary. In the 19th century the Sharavogue Estate held nearly 7,000 acres and had lands at Sharavogue and Clareen. The house and lands were sold by then owner, Earl of Huntingdon, to the Land Commission in the 1920s. Sharavogue House was left to ruin over many years and largely demolished by the 1970s.
