Description
Detached four-bay two-storey country house, built c.1890, with three-bay two-storey return to rear and canted-entrance bay to south-facing side elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with rendered hood-mouldings, timber casement windows and tooled limestone sills. Two canted-bay windows to front elevation. Stone outbuilding to rear. Decorative cast-iron entrance gate supported by cast-iron piers.
Appraisal
The regular façade of Cashlieve House is embellished by the use of hood-mouldings to the windows, and the two canted-bay windows to the ground floor. There is a notable absence of a prominent doorway on what appears to be the principal elevation and instead it is placed in a canted bay in the angle between the front of the house and the return, but is nonetheless appealing. The paned timber casement windows, coupled with the hood-mouldings, result in an interesting fenestration. The decorative cast-iron gate and piers afford an elegant, and modest, entrance to the house.
