Appraisal
This large-scale building is a notable feature on Raheen Road and forms a group with the gate lodge to the northeast. Its sheeted eaves, deep chimneystacks and regular fenestration add to its imposing form and interesting features such as the timber sliding sash windows add interest to the façade.
