Why it mattered

Killaghbeg House — KILLAGH BEG matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: The simple design of this is enhanced by the interesting integral porch. The brick chimneystacks provide textural interest, as does the unusual carved limestone entrance. The retention of timber sash windows and the panelled door and sidelights adds to the architectural interest of the house and the outbuildings are of good quality and well detailed and provide context.
