Appraisal
Prominently sited and elevated from the main road, this handsome house frames the approach into Ballaghaderreen. This building retains its original proportions and many materials such as the attractive fanlight, eight-over-eight sash windows and the finely-constructed outbuilding to the rear site. The regular form of the house is broken by interesting shape of the entrance porch. The well within the house grounds is a particularly notable.
