Appraisal
This hosue was formerly known as Caherelly Cottage. The horizontal emphasis and solid appearance of this house are enhanced by tall hipped roof and central chimneystacks. This form together with proportions and mass to void ratio are typical features of modestly sized country houses of its era. It retains notable features such as timber sash windows and the outbuilding to rear adds context. An interesting element to the house is the plaque inscribed: "Built by Wm. Hannan 1800".
