This modest house survives with much of its original form intact, as well as salient features such as the balanced proportions and symmetrical façade. The survival of the roof lights to the rear illustrates the use of the loft for additional accommodation. Prominently sited, overlooking Lough Gur, this house together with its outbuildings around a courtyard make a positive contribution to the landscape.
