Appraisal
The gabled form of this house is characteristic of its time, as is the verandah to the front. The verandah style with timber uprights mirrors those cottages in Adare village which are adjacent to the town hall. Ardshanbally House retains notable features and materials such as the red brick chimneystack, timber bargeboards and cast-iron rainwater goods. It forms a pair with the adjoined house to the east, creating a picturesque feature on the landscape.
