Appraisal
A well-composed substantial house retaining most of the original composition elements but the external character of which has been undermined by extensive renovation works carried out over the course of the twentieth century. Nevertheless, the house remains of significance for the contribution made to the group and setting values of the Callan Augustinian Abbey complex.
