Ballaghassaan House

Detached five-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1675, with projecting two-storey entrance bay, return to rear and outbuildings to south and east. Pitched slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Square-headed door opening with glazed timber panelled door flanked by timber pilasters with console brackets. Stone and roughcast rendered outbuildings with corrugated-iron and slate roofs to rear site.

Ballaghassaan House is situated off a small country road in a secluded site. With its upper windows closely set beneath the eaves, the farmhouse has appears to be of a seventeenth-century date. The farmhouse together with its various stone outbuildings and stable complex make a fine group of associated structures and one which retains early fabric. Though it has been altered over the years, these interventions have not taken away from the structure but created a building which exudes character and charm retaining elements of design from the last four centuries.
