Appraisal
Set within its own grounds surrounded by mature trees, this late nineteenth-century house makes a significant contribution the architectural diversity of Dromcolliher. The building has retained much of its historic form and character through the retention of key features including its symmetrical façade, timber sash windows and deeply scored lined-and-ruled walls which soften the visual impact of the canted bays and porch. The collection of outbuildings to the rear of the property serve to further enhance the building's setting.
