Appraisal
This building forms a group with related stable and garden structures, as well as with the other buildings within the Adare Manor complex. Its size and scale are similar to the staff house opposite, though the two differ in design. Its dormer roofs and tall chimneystacks are characteristic of the design of the estate architecture within the town and estate. It retains much of its form as well as interesting features such as the timber windows and the stone façade.
