Beechlawn, house in County Meath

What is recorded here

Beechlawn in Castletown has two great bay windows pushing forward while the front door hides in a recessed porch. Two aunties have spotted you coming up the drive; the sensible member of the family is on the floor whispering, ‘Don’t answer it.’

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built 1938, with full-height canted bay windows flanking central bay. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Replacement windows. Timber glazed door set in recessed porch with round-headed concrete porch hood and terrazzo threshold. Outbuilding to site.

Built during the second quarter of the twentieth century, this house is a fine example of domestic architecture of that time. This well-proportioned house has interesting features such as the bay windows and recessed porch. This house is similar in form and detailing to a house to the west, which was designed by the same local architect.
