Appraisal
This attractive house has had a varied history. According to a local resident it was once used as a public house, later becoming Kiltyclogher garda barracks in the mid 1920s, before returning to residential use in the 1970s. The retention of a loop-like window to the former cell room is a reminder of the house's previous use. The limestone façade and timber sash windows are significant features.
