Appraisal
This house in the very heart of Killeigh retains much of its original fabric. Though its render has been stripped to reveal random coursed stonework and red brick arches, its remaining features including the refined limestone door surround with delicate fanlight make it a notable structure in the village. The attractive bootscrapers and wrought-iron railings also contribute to the architectural character of the site.
