Appraisal
The impressive execution of the stonework in this former estate worker's house is immediately notable. It mirrors the high adeptness of technical design and detailing visible in the many other structures on Lough Rynn Estate. This attractive and decorative building epitomises the distinguished architecture of the structures within Lough Rynn.
