Appraisal
This building retains much of its original form and character to the exterior, despite recent additions and alterations. Situated adjacent to the River Deel, south of Abbey Mills, the house was formerly part of the milll complex. It remains a prominent feature in the landscape of Askeaton and is enhanced by its good quality boundary walls.
