Danganreagh House, which is a modest mid nineteenth-century farmhouse, is situated in front of an earlier farmhouse, known as Moatland Cottage. The earlier farmhouse may date to the end of the eighteenth century. The flanking screen walls, with their matching carriage-arch openings and pedestrian entrances, further enhance the balanced symmetrical façade of the later house. The segmental-headed door opening is a notable feature of the farmhouse's design and its etched and coloured glazing enlivens the façade. The survival of many original features including the timber sash windows, walled garden and rear outbuildings contribute to the significance of the structure.
