Although derelict, Kilmurry House remains relatively intact with a large portion of the roof surviving. Situated on a crest of a low hillock, much of the historic character of the house remains with large sash windows flanking a grand central doorway, enhancing the visual appeal of this once fine building. Decorative plaster mouldings and patches of embroidered fabric lining the interior walls suggests the extent of the building's elegantly decorated interior.
