Ballina House is regarded locally as a Cromwellian structure, purported to be a structure with the most intact courtyard in the country. The buildings, though renovated, still display a good deal of architectural character. Terracotta chimney pots and an elevated entrance make this structure unusual. The well-maintained outbuildings are also a notable architectural detail to this property.
