Description

Kilblean is a building dated 1827. It is a two-storey structure with three windows, constructed from pinned boulder rubble. The building retains its original woodwork and features an elaborate front door. At the back, there is a single-storey wing with a tall kitchen chimney.

Surrounding the garden, there is a wall on two sides, which includes an interesting cheese press that is integrated with the garden wall at its junction with the house. Gates are located on the west side.
