Appraisal
This well-proportioned house is located on a coherent site which retains original boundaries. Recent extensions have been sympathetically executed. The two-storey broached bay window and stonework detailing to chimneys and gables are of particular interest. The obvious connection with the close-by Church of Ireland church adds further significance.
