Appraisal
A picturesque middle-size house that has been very well maintained, retaining most of its original form and character. The house incorporates distinctive features including jettied bays and box bay windows, which contribute to the architectural appeal of the composition. The house is an integral component of the Lismore Castle estate, and attests to the various functions necessary in the operation of a large-scale demesne.
