Appraisal
An attractive small-scale late-Georgian house of balanced proportions, which retains its early form and character. well-maintained this house presents an early aspect with substantial quantities of the original fabric surviving to the exterior facade. Buildings of this type were once very common in the rural Irish countryside but few survive today in such good condition as this pleasant example. The extensive complex of outbuildings to the rear adds to this composition and completes the setting.
