What is recorded here
Ashbrook House in Boeeshil has chimneystacks that rise straight out of its gables as though they’re trying to claim another storey. Give them curtains and they’d be advertising themselves as penthouses.
Detached nine-bay two-storey former fever hospital, built in 1841, on a H-plan. Now used as a nursing home. Two-storey returns and single-storey range to rear. Pitched slate roof with coping and terracotta ridge tiles. Rendered chimneystacks expressed in gables. Snecked and ashlar elevations with tooled quoins. Replacement timber casement windows and limestone sills. Segmental-headed door opening within glazed porch. Set within garden, bounded by squared random stone wall and ashlar gate piers.
The well-proportioned shape and form of the building is enlivened by the worked stone façade and enhanced by the imposing chimneystacks. It is of social significance to Mohill as it was built as a fever hospital during the mid-nineteenth century.
