Why it mattered
The Rectory — Ballinfull matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This fine Scottish baronial style house exhibits good quality stonework with nice touches such as the diagonally-set chimney cans, hood mouldings and slender gable finials. Original sash windows, unusual for their horizontal emphasis, survive throughout. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
