Appraisal
Set on the outskirts of Glandore, this house occupies a fine site overlooking the harbour. Though extended and renovated, it nonetheless retains much of its historic character and charm. Its simple, well proportioned form is typical of classically inspired nineteenth century domestic architecture.
