Ard Mhuire

Detached three-bay two-storey house with dormers, projecting gable-fronted bay and box bay, built 1957. Pitched and hipped slate roofs with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth rendered plinth. Slate hanging to dormers. Square-headed openings with tripartite six-over-nine timber sliding sash windows with concrete sills. Square-headed openings to dormers and rear with paired six-over-six timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed openings to box bay with timber fixed pane windows. Square-headed openings to rear and side having six-over-six timber sliding sash windows and timber fixed pane and casement windows with concrete sills.

This pleasing house was built in the Arts and Crafts style, particularly discernable in the massing, window variety and tall chimneystacks. Though built several decades after the flowering of the style in the UK, it makes an interesting addition to the predominantly nineteenth century architectural heritage of the area. This is a delightfully intact example of a style which is rare outside major urban areas.
