Appraisal
Vinepark, which was once part of the large estate of the Crokers of Lisnabrin House, is a two-phase house, the earlier block being to the rear. The main house is built in the classical style with elegant proportions and little emphasis on ornamentation. It retains interesting features such as the timber sash windows and natural slate roof. The outbuilding to the rear adds context to the site.
