Appraisal
A fine house with a well-balanced facade which retains many original features including sash windows, slate roofing and render detailing. Its prominent location on the shore, overlooking the Owenboy River and enjoying a fine view of Crosshaven to the south, makes it a notable addition in the landscape.
