Ardeevin, house in County Meath

What is recorded here

Ardeevin in Castletown has an awkward little secret: the same architect gave Beechlawn down the road much the same look. Two houses turning up in the same outfit, and neither able to go home and change.

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built 1938, with full-height canted bay windows flanking central bay. Hipped slate roof with brick chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Replacement windows. Timber glazed door set in recessed porch with round-headed concrete porch hood and terrazzo threshold. Roughcast rendered outbuilding with pitched slate roof. Ashlar limestone gate piers with cast-iron double gates.

Built during the second quarter of the twentieth century, this house is a fine example of domestic architecture of that time. This well-proportioned house has interesting features such as the bay windows and recessed porch. This house is similar in form and detailing to Beechlawn, a house to the east, which was designed by the same local architect.
