Appraisal
Set overlooking an inlet, this house occupies an attractive site which is enhanced by its well maintained grounds. Built as the glebe house for the Church of Ireland church to the west, it forms an interesting group with the church and graveyard. It is a reminder of the influence and prosperity of the Church of Ireland in the early nineteenth century, when many churches and clergy residences were built throughout the country. It retains much of its original character and charm.
