Appraisal
This building, originally built as an outbuilding to Ballina (Balyna) House and possibly originally intended as an accommodation block for farm labourers, has been extensively renovated in the late twentieth century, leading to the loss of some of the original form and much of the original character. The outbuilding retains some original features and materials, primarily to the roof, while replacement fenestration has been instated that is not in keeping with the original character of the building. Future renovation works might aim to re-instate traditional style timber fenestration. The outbuilding is of interest as an integral component of an intact late nineteenth-century estate.
