house — Kilbrien matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A modest-scale house of some vernacular importance as identified by the informal arrangement of the openings together with a thatched roof. However, inappropriate renovation works in the late twentieth century have compromised much of the external character of the composition. The attendant outbuilding to south-east retains more of its historic patina and contributes significantly to the visual appeal of the site. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
