Appraisal
This house retains some interesting features such as timber sash windows with limestone sills and some blank window openings to the side elevations. Its outbuildings are pleasant and add context to and enhance the site. The house is one of a number of houses of similar scale and design in the area, and may have been built to house members of the militia stationed at Buttevant.
