Appraisal
This eighteenth-century house retains many important external elements, including slate roof, timber sash windows and in particular the fanlight to the front door which is of a very fine quality for a rural house of this size. Ballyrickard House was part of the demesne of Mount Falcon to the northwest and is also associated with the Faulkner family.
