Appraisal
Saint Kevinsfort is a good example of a relatively intact house from the early nineteenth century. It displays an unusual arrangement, with a single-storey garden front with two-storeys to side and rear, which has the effect of giving what is a substantial house a modest appearance to the front west. It contains original fabric such as the front door, window sills, entrance steps, and cast-iron pump to the courtyard. The substantial outbuildings provide an attractive courtyard.
