Rosmeen House, situated on a road leading from Ballintober, is a domestic structure of modest design and proportion. Its character is enhanced by render detailing, which creates a pleasing textural variation. The narrow sash windows with timber glazing bars give the house as sense of refinement. The outbuildings make a notable and positive contribution to the house.
