Curraheen House — Cappagh matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: Built by the Stephenson family, this Georgian house retains its elegant proportions as well as much of its original form and structure. The position of the chimneystacks, placed on the gable ends with external flues is typical of eighteenth-century architecture. The simple fanlight and flanking sidelights to the entrance enlivens the classically inspired façade. The extensions to rear and in particular the bowed addition are notable features and add context to the site. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
