Appraisal
The symmetry and order of the front façade of this fine house is typical of the classically influenced country houses of rural Ireland. The building has maintained a great deal of its traditional character through the retention of historic fabric including timber sliding sash windows, a fine slate roof and internal timber panelled shutters.
