What is recorded here
Ardshanbally House in Blackabbey wears the same style of timber verandah as the cottages beside Adare’s town hall. It has the air of someone who moved out to the country for privacy, then bought the village’s outfit so it would notice.
Semi-detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1920, with gabled projecting bays to east and gabled bay to west. Verandah to front (south) elevation. Gablet to west elevation and conservatory and lean-to extension to west. Pitched slate roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods, timber bargeboards, terracotta ridge tiles and red brick chimneystacks. Hipped roof to verandah, supported by timber posts. Rendered walls. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows and render hoodmouldings. Square-headed door opening with timber panelled door, approached by flight of cut limestone steps
The gabled form of this house is characteristic of its time, as is the verandah to the front. The verandah style with timber uprights mirrors those cottages in Adare village which are adjacent to the town hall. Ardshanbally House retains notable features and materials such as the red brick chimneystack, timber bargeboards and cast-iron rainwater goods. It forms a pair with the adjoined house to the east, creating a picturesque feature on the landscape.
