Appraisal
A pleasant early nineteenth century middle-sized house of balanced Georgian proportions associated with the Langley family who owned most of the land in the area including the townland of Moyglass. The O'Dwyers purchased the house in 1912 after the estate was divided. The overall character and form of this building complex has been carefully preserved and it continues to form part of a working farm.
