Appraisal
This elegant rectory, set within its own grounds, exemplifies Victorian architecture of the late nineteenth century. Its well proportioned form is enhanced by design elements that are representative of fine craftsmanship. The eaves details are notable and add a subtle, yet significant artistic element to the house. The coach house completes the group of structures, which contribute to the architectural heritage of Manorhamilton.
