Why it mattered
Losset House matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This attractive stone house and its outbuildings retain their early character and form. Together they display skilled stone masonry and share many characteristics with nearby buildings of the Lough Fea estate, including double-light windows and extensive use of cut stone. The outbuilding gables flank the front elevation of the house and create a well proportioned composition. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
