Straffan Cottage is an attractive small-scale cottage-style house that forms a picturesque feature in the centre of the village of Straffan. Although renovated in the late twentieth century, leading to the loss of much of the original fabric, the house retains much of its original form, while additional ranges have been added in keeping with the original integrity.
