What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1850, with two-bay end elevations and having lower one and two-bay two-storey additions to rear and single-storey flat-roofed garage extension to north elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and wide over-hanging eaves to main block and pitched slate roofs to additions. Rendered walls with square-headed openings having limestone sills and six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows. Elliptical-headed door opening with render surround, timber panelled double-leaf door, timber doorcase comprising panelled pilasters, cornice, cobweb fanlight, concrete steps and cast-iron boot-scrape. Rubble limestone boundary walls with cast-iron piers, gates and railings.
Formerly the residence of Michael Doheny, the prominent Young Irelander, this elegantly proportioned house is a notable feature on the old Dublin road into Cashel. Its regular form is enhanced by the deep chimneystacks and overhanging eaves, and the decorative door surround and fanlight enliven the façade.
