Appraisal
Though its design is typical of the mid-eighteenth century, this house displays Victorian features including a bollection panelled front door and single and two-over-two pane sash windows. It is an imposing three-storey house and is of architectural significance. The setting of this structure is enhanced by the simple stone outbuildings. Building on site of castle, parts of the bawn of which are still standing.
