Appraisal
Moyaliff House is a large house, built over several periods. It is picturesquely sited within a mature garden, beside a river, and within the grounds of a ruined castle. Its modest garden front conceals the several distinct extensions to the rear, forming enclosed courtyards. It contains fabric from the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
