Ard na Gréine

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1880, having two-bay side elevations to east and west, east having hipped canted-bay window. Hipped U-plan slate roof having clay ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Painted lined-and-ruled rendered walls with render plinth course. Square-headed window openings having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and some replacement uPVC sash windows. Round-headed door openings to front and east elevations, with moulded render surrounds and replacement timber panelled doors, double-leaf to front, with limestone plinth blocks and plain fanlights, approached by limestone steps. Detached two-storey outbuilding to rear having three-bay ground and two-bay first floors, pitched slate roof, coursed limestone rubble walls with dressed quoins and red brick block-and-start surrounds to square-headed openings. Painted rendered boundary walls terminating in square-plan piers with recent aluminum double-leaf gates.

This middle-sized nineteenth-century house has simple understated fenestration and retains most of its timber sash windows. The render detailing to the doorways adds further interest to this structure which is pleasantly located on a site recessed from the road to the north of Ballyclogh.
