Kilderry House — Muff matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This distinctive large-scale country house, probably originally dating to the second half of the eighteenth century, retains its original character and form. The central bowed projection to the main block and the advanced blocks to either side with canted bay adjoining the main block helps to create an intriguing and unusual composition of some aesthetic appeal. This strongly suggests that this building is of at least two phases with the flanking projections added to the original central block, perhaps during the first decades of the nineteenth century. The sunroom to the north elevation is another later… This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
