Ballygeanymore House

Detached four-bay two-storey former country house, built c. 1750, remodelled c. 1810 and c. 1870, with gabled projection and hipped-roofed block to front (east) elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, timber bargeboards to gable, render eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls with render quoins to hipped-roofed projecting block. Square-headed openings with timber sliding sash windows, one-over-one and six-over-six pane. Square-headed opening to south elevation with timber panelled half-glazed door, decorative side lights and overlight. Square-headed openings to rear (south) with timber panelled and timber panelled half-glazed doors. Detached multiple-bay two-storey outbuilding to south-east with bellcote to gable, pitched slate roof, rubble stone chimneystack, rubble stone walls with red brick relieving arch, and square-headed openings with replacement fittings. Detached three-bay two-storey outbuilding to north-east with pitched corrugated roof, rendered rubble stone walls and square-headed openings. Rubble stone boundary wall to east with pedestrian entrance having cast-iron gate. Square-profile cut sandstone piers to entrance.

The irregular elevations, variety of windows and the projecting wing are features which indicate the multi-phase construction of this intriguing building. The extremely substantial chimneystack set in the north elevation is a particularly early feature which may suggest an even earlier construction date. A curious and engaging house which is a notable addition to the local architectural heritage. The large related outbuilding contributes to the context and setting.
