What is recorded here

Detached four-bay two-storey country house, built c. 1750. Square-headed window openings with architrave surrounds internally and original stone sills. Nine over six timber sash windows at ground floor level reducing to six over six on the first floor. Hipped slate roof and lead ridge hip flashings and two rendered profiled chimney stacks topped with octagonal clay pots. The overhanging eaves are serviced by cast-iron rainwater goods. The landscaped site is accessed by the original gateway comprising of two dressed stone piers and distinctive square head portals over the side gates. Rendered quadrant walls with cast-iron gates with fleur-de-lis finals.
Ballinvirick House was originally the home of the Royce family in the mid eighteenth century. It is a good example of restrained Georgian architecture. The survival of the slate roof and the timber sash windows are of importance architecturally.
