Appraisal
Bruree Lodge has been substantially enlarged over the years. The original house is now subsumed into the present house. Architectural quality and design are apparent in the form and window fenestration of this house. It retains original features such as the slate roof and limestone sills. The outbuildings to rear add context to the site and date from the original house.
