Loughgur Farm matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This striking building is typical in form of larger late eighteenth-century houses, having hipped roof, centrally placed chimneystacks and symmetrical façade, however, features such as the varied window treatments to each floor distinguish the design of this house. Retaining many original features, such as the sash windows and timber door, the house presents much of its original early aspect. The medieval tower house located within the grounds adds historic context and attests to the long established habitation of the site. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
