Drumkeel House is a simply-built modest farmhouse. However features such as the fine door surround, stone sills and timber sash windows all contribute to its architectural significance and overall appearance. The house forms an important group with the fine coach house and outbuilding. Located on a elevated site off the road, it is accessed via a long driveway. A modern bungalow has been built to the west of the house. Drumkeel House is one of five houses built by the Palmer Brothers. Two of these, Glasdrumman House and Tawnylea House, were constructed to a similar design.
