Appraisal
Located on the margins of the historic village of Feenagh, this unusual large scale farmhouse forms an integral element of the visual appeal of the surrounding streetscape. The building has retained much of its historic character through the retention of key historic features such as timber sash windows, a fine slate roof and decorative timber doorcase.
