What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820, comprising porch to front (north) elevation and three-bay single-storey lean-to to rear (south) elevation. Hipped artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls having render quoins, plinth course and cornice to porch. Square-headed openings to first floor with moulded render surrounds, sills, brackets and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Camber-headed openings to ground floor having moulded render surrounds, sills, brackets and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Paired round-headed openings to porch with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and shared concrete sill. Segmental-headed opening to porch, east elevation having glazed overlight over timber panelled door. Two-bay single-storey outbuilding to south-west with pitched slate roof. Painted rubble stone walls. Square-headed window opening. Square-headed door openings. Pair of square-profile rendered piers to north with double-leaf cast-iron gates and rendered boundary walls.
This house is typical in form of middle sized houses in Ireland. It is distinguished, however, by the varying window treatments to the first and ground floors, and the decorative use of render details. The retention of sash windows help to preserve the original character of the house.
