Most of the external fabric remains, but there are obvious signs of deterioration, particularly water penetration, slipped slates and vegetation growth. There is no immediate danger of collapse but the condition is such that unless urgent remedial works are carried out the building will sharply deteriorate. Curraghchase House which was the residence of by the de Vere family and was the birthplace of the poet Aubrey de Vere is set in a magnificent demense landscape. The house is now derelict and vacant following a fire in 1941 but retains many limestone features.
