Appraisal
This attractive stone house and its outbuildings retain their early character and form. Together they display skilled stone masonry and share many characteristics with nearby buildings of the Lough Fea estate, including double-light windows and extensive use of cut stone. The outbuilding gables flank the front elevation of the house and create a well proportioned composition.
