Appraisal
According to the owner, this house is the oldest structure within Lough Rynn Estate, and pre-dates the phases of construction that shaped the demesne. A notable feature is the depth of the exterior walls, as demonstrated by the door embrasure. Although probably dating to the nineteenth century, the lattice windows add aesthetic character to the vernacular design. The house is unique within the estate, where so many structures have been elaborately embellished.
