Appraisal
This house is a fine and well-maintained building composed of a long range that has possibly been extended over subsequent decades. The house, although now disused, retains most of its original features and materials, including early fixed-pane fenestration, timber sash fenestration, and a slate roof, while the doorcase with overlight and overpanel is an attractive, if unusual feature. The house is prominently and attractively sited in the core of Narraghmore village and forms a boundary or demarcator to that village to the north and is positioned facing opposite the former courthouse.
