Description
Detached five-bay single-storey former miller's house, built c.1810, with return and later extension to rear (north). Now in use as a private house. Hipped natural slate roof with rendered chimneystacks to centre. Pitched natural slate roof to rear return. Roughcast rendered walls over smooth rendered plinth. Square-headed window openings with cut stone sills and replacement casement windows. Central square-headed doorway to main façade (south) with plain cut limestone surround having projecting keystone, a fluted frieze and a moulded cornice above. Replacement timber door. Located to the southeast of associated former mill (15319005) and to the south of Ballynagore.
Appraisal
A well-proportioned former miller’s house, associated with the former mill that lies in ruins to the northwest (15319005). This pleasant structure is enhanced by the good quality cut limestone doorcase, which enlivens the otherwise plain front façade. This former miller's house is of humble proportions and is dwarfed by the enormous bulk of the mill to the rear (northwest). This house was probably built by the Mulock family, who owned the mill to the rear in the early nineteenth-century. This structure forms part of an interesting group of structures associated with the industrial past ofBallynagore and is an interesting addition to built heritage of the local area.
