An Tobar in Cloghnadromin does the gentleman-farmer look with windows that get smaller upstairs. Downstairs says, ‘We own land.’ Upstairs says, ‘We can see you coming to borrow money.’
Detached five-bay two-storey house, built c. 1810, having gable-fronted porch to front (south) elevation and lean-to to rear (north) elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls having render quoins and plinth course. Square-headed openings with render surrounds, painted stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed opening to porch having fixed timber windows and painted limestone sill. Square-headed opening to porch, west elevation, with timber panelled door and flanking sidelights. Two-bay single-storey outbuilding to rear having single-bay single-storey extension to north elevation. Pitched corrugated-iron roof. Render over rubble limestone walls. Square-headed window opening. Square-headed door opening. Pair of square-profile rendered piers to west with double-leaf cast-iron gates. Pair of square-profile rendered piers having double-leaf cast-iron gates and rendered piers having spear-headed cast-iron railings terminating in second pair of piers.
This large house, in the style of a gentleman farmer's residence, maintains distinctive features characteristic of late Georgian architecture, such as elegant proportions to the façade and subtly diminishing windows, all of which enhance the architectural composition of the piece. The house presents an early aspect, with much of the original form intact.
