Description
Detached three-bay two-storey over half-basement house, built c. 1805, with single-storey addition to south side and recent single-storey extension to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and stone corbelled eaves. Exposed limestone walls. Square-headed openings with replacement timber windows having brick surrounds and limestone sills, wider to ground floor of front and north gable, having segmental limestone arches to ground floor. Round-headed window to first floor of rear. Elliptical-headed door opening with brick voussoirs, timber panelled door and latticed fanlight. Approached by diminishing flight of limestone steps with cast-iron railings. Ruinous outbuildings to rear with pitched slate roofs and rubble limestone walls. Snecked dressed limestone piers and stile and cast-iron gates to site entrance.
Appraisal
Despite recent interventions, this structure retains its early nineteenth-century form and proportions. The centralised chimneystacks and hipped roof are typical of middle-sized houses in Co. Tipperary. The arching to the front ground floor windows is unusual as is the latticed form of the fanlight.
