The Argory, a National Trust house deep in the green Co Armagh countryside, reopened in March following 18 months of conservation .

Built in the 1820s, this handsome Irish gentry house is surrounded by its 130-hectare (320-acre) wooded riverside estate. The former home of the McGeough - Bond family, a tour of this neo-classical masterpiece reveals it is unchanged since 1900 - the eclectic interior still evoking the family's Edwardian tastes and interests.
