A farmhouse erected by James Kenny (----) representing an integral component of the domestic built heritage of the environs of Killann with the architectural value of the composition suggested by such attributes as the compact plan form centred on a restrained doorcase demonstrating good quality workmanship; and the slight diminishing in scale of the openings on each floor producing a feint graduated visual impression. Having been well maintained, the elementary form and massing survive intact together with quantities of the original or replicated fabric, both to the exterior and to the interior, thus upholding much of the character or integrity of the composition. Furthermore, adjacent outbuildings continue to contribute positively to the group and setting values of a self-contained ensemble making a pleasing visual statement in a rural street scene.
