What is recorded here
Aghnaskeagh House in County Louth has two-storey outbuildings, so even the sheds have an upstairs. You’d only ask where the shovel was to hear, ‘It’s gone up to change for dinner.’
Detached two-storey house, built c. 1840. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and eaves corbels. Rendered walls with string courses. Segmental-headed openings with timber sliding sash windows. Two-storey outbuildings to site.
This well proportioned house retains much of its original character and charm. The segmental-headed openings, timber sliding sash windows and string courses are notable features. The related outbuildings add to the site context.
