Longfield House is one of the most distinguished country houses in County Tipperary and is particularly notable for its bowed entrance bay. This feature makes it part of an interesting group of houses in the Cashel district. Its fine Gibbsian doorway and fanlight provides the focal point of the facade and the varied roofscape adds further visual interest. the retention of timber sash windows enhances this building which is set in mature grounds.
