Keylong House matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This house has the five-bay plan familiar in South Tipperary. Timber sash windows and natural slate roofs have been retained throughout. The house and gardens are very well presented. The various outbuildings are well preserved and form an interesting ensemble. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
