Appraisal
A fine example of a nineteenth century glebe house, located in close proximity to Killougher Church of Ireland church that was built in 1814. The scale and form of the house attests to the social standing of the Church of Ireland clergy at the time. Altered and extended to suit changing needs, this well proportioned house forms part of an interesting Church of Ireland group with the church to the south and parochial hall to the west.
