Appraisal
This former estate manager's house forms part of an interesting group of Loughcrew demesne structures, with the Ionic portico, stables, church, graveyard and gate lodges. The building is of apparent architectural design and detailing, while the retention of many original features and materials, such as the slate roof, ashlar chimneystack and timber sash windows complements the form of this building.
