Appraisal
This building forms a group with related stable and garden structures, as well as with the other buildings within the Adare Manor complex. Its size and scale are similar to the staff house opposite, though the two differ in design. Its overhanging dormer roof, together with the rusticated stonework and platband lend the building an imposing air. It retains much of its original form including early materials such as the red brick chimneystacks and stone walls.
