Ballyknocken House was built in the 1850s for the Hetherington Family – Mr. Hetherington was the area agent (rent collector) for the major landlord at the time.

The Landlord, Mr Tighe, a wealthy man, spent some of his time here in the area of Ballyknocken Farm. In fact ruins of his Summer House and Ice House can still be seen in the forest behind Ballyknocken Guesthouse surrounded by beautiful laurel and eucalyptus tree, remnants from his gardens.
