Ballincurrig House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having flat-roofed porch to front (south) elevation and extensions to rear. Hipped slate roof with over-sailing eaves, red brick chimneystacks and rainwater goods not visible. Ruled-and-lined rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with six-over-six and nine-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows and stucco render lions heads to ground floor window heads. Round-headed window opening to porch with render hood mouldings, spoked twelve pane timber windows and render sills throughout. Square-headed door opening having timber panelled door and spoked fanlight. Detached three-bay two-storey gate lodge to north-east. Pitched artificial slate roof with red brick chimneystack. Red brick walls. Square-headed window openings with timber casement windows and render sills. Square-headed door openings set in recent porch with replacement timber panelled door. Dressed limestone and rendered piers with curving side walls and double-leaf wrought-iron gates to front of site.

The classical proportions and diminishing windows give this building a sense of grandeur. The overhanging eaves are a typical contemporary feature and give a sense of anchoring the house in its surrounding landscape. It retains many historic features, including delicate render detailing and timber sliding sash windows. The red brick gate lodge adds colour and textural interest while also adding context to the site.
