Detached five-bay two-storey over basement house, built c.1780, with central half-octagonal breakfront to facade. Return and two-storey over basement extension to rear.

Appraisal 

The regular form of this country house is interrupted by the central breakfront to the front elevation. Corduff House is a substantial, well-built stone house located on an elevated site overlooking Corduff Lough to the south. The enclosed rear yard retains its original cobbled surface and contributes to the setting of the house.
