Ballyegny House

Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1870. Pitched slate roof having rendered chimneystacks, overhanging eaves with red brick eaves supports and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls having cut stone plinth course to south elevation. Square-headed openings throughout with cut limestone sills. Two-over-two pane and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Cast-iron sill guard to ground floor window, north elevation. Round-headed opening to west (rear) elevation having tooled limestone sill and timber margin sash stained glass window. Timber framed window to ground floor, west elevation. Segmental-headed opening to east (front) elevation with double-leaf timber panelled door, spoked fanlight and sidelights. Rendered step to entrance. Square-headed opening to rear having timber battened door. Limestone step to entrance. Entrance to south-west comprising pair of square-profile rock-faced limestone piers, joined by sweep walls, flanking double-leaf cast-iron gate.

The regular form of this house is articulated and enhanced by its hipped slate roof, central chimneystacks and symmetrical façade. The timber sliding sash windows, tooled limestone sills and, most notably, the well executed entrance add to its architectural significance.
