Semi-detached two-bay two-storey with dormer attic house, built c. 1870, having projecting gabled end bay, full-height lean-to with porch to front (east) elevation, gabled end bay with full-height bay window, extension to north and conservatory to south. Pitched slate roofs having ornate timber bargeboards and rendered chimneystacks. Balustrades to porch. Rendered walls with render eaves course to south. Square-headed openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows throughout. Pointed arch window openings to gabled end bays, second floor and dormer windows. Render continuous sill course to first floor windows. Pointed arch opening to porch having timber panelled door. Rendered square-profile piers with double-leaf cast-iron gates.
One of a pair, this house is an interesting example of late Victorian architecture. The irregular roofline and use of gables and gablets are characteristic features of the Tudor Revival style. The house is enhanced by the retention of its ornate timber bargeboards, which add artistic interest to the façade.

LynwoodHouse · 16 yd

Explorer Tom Lynwood in Ringmeen is dressed up in late Victorian Tudor Revival clothes, pretending to be fancy since 1870. Those gables are jumping all over the roofline. Check out those bargeboards before they rust away.

FernbankHouse · 50 yd

Explorer Tom Fernbank in Ringmeen is all Tudor Revival chic, which basically means it thinks it's much grander than it actually is. The A-frame bargeboards are doing their best to look artistic, but they're just trying hard. Great spot to pretend you know architecture.

Martello Tower702 yd

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Haulbowline Island was built by the Navy and now guards their HQ. It’s got wooden stairs and a water tank up top. Tell it I said g'day from across the harbour, will you?

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Carrigaline Castle (in Ruins)Castle, Anglo-Norman masonry castle · 3.3 mi

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
