Appraisal
A well balanced composition with sober grey stone walls providing an interesting contrast to the yellow brick dressings. The projecting bays create an intresting asymmetrical plan that is typical of the late ninteenthe century. It forms part of a noteworthy group with Riversdale House, the Rectory, and Erne Vale, of imposing historic houses set in landscaped grounds overlooking the River Erne.
