Clonaleenaghan House is an attractive complex of structures comprising eighteenth- and nineteenth-century dwellings, walled garden and outbuildings. The retention of original features such as the exposed sash boxes indicate an early date. The structures have retained their original balanced composition and form and they play a positive role in the built heritage of County Louth.
