Kiffagh House matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: A well proportioned house of robust appearance in a rural setting that retains its historic form and character with much of its original materials features, including distinctive chimneystacks and fenestration. It is a typical example of a middle sized mid-nineteenth century house. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
