Appraisal
Mahonstown House retains many of its original external features such as hipped slate roof, red brick chimneystacks, doorcase and timber panelled door. The rendered façade is enlivened by the render quoins, window surrounds and shaped red brick eaves course. The setting of the house on the bank of the Moynalty river is enhanced by the retention of the original boundary treatments and stone outbuildings.
