Appraisal
Fortview House, situated on an elevated position over the town, makes a positive contribution to the streetscape of Chapel Lane. One of the few large detached houses within Mohill, its form, scale and symmetrical design are of architectural merit. The outbuildings to the rear contribute to the setting of this house.
