Appraisal
An imposing house retaining its original form and some original features, that is an execellent example of the high quality accommodation built by the Church of Ireland for its clergy in the nineteenth century. It was associated with the nearby Killinkere Church of Ireland church with which it was connected by a pedestrian path.
