Place & story
A house built in 1822
Killeen House was built in 1822 as a glebe house by the Board of First Fruits. Its main block has two storeys above a half-basement, with a taller rear return and a southern wing. A broad flight of limestone steps leads to the recessed entrance. Behind the house, buildings of one and two storeys enclose a yard, with carriage arches and ventilating louvres among their details. The architectural survey records the complex’s later development as a working farm. [2]
