Ballynagarby House

Complex of outbuildings associated with Ballynagarbry House (now demolished and replaced by a modern dwelling), built c.1780, comprising a detached seven-bay two-storey former dairy to the south and a single-storey (with attic level) former coach house to the north. Now in use as a farmyard. Pitched natural slate roofs with cast-iron rainwater goods. Brick chimneystack to the south end of former dairy. Roughcast rendered walls with brick dressings to the openings. Square-headed window and door openings, now mostly with replacement fittings. Segmental-headed carriage arch having brick voussoirs to the east end of the coach house. Rubble limestone boundary wall to the east side of complex and a vernacular wrought-iron gate to site. Set back from road in mature grounds to the east of the site of the original Ballynagarbry House and to the northwest of Moate.

A modest complex of outbuildings associated with Ballynagarbry House (now demolished and replaced by a modern dwelling). This complex retains much of its early form and has a distinctly vernacular character. According to local information the coach house was used as the venue for Home Rule meetings in the late nineteenth-century and is known locally as the ‘Home Rule House’. This imbues this modest site with historical importance and is part of the social and political history of the Moate local area. This complex of outbuildings adds historic incident to its pleasant rural location and is an unassuming addition to the heritage of Moate.
