Bellevue Cottage

Detached four-bay two-storey house, built c. 1880, with recent glazed porch addition with flat roof to front elevation, single-bay full-height return, projecting bay window to west gable with hipped slate roof, two-storey lean-to addition to north-east and recent two-storey extension to north-west. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves, rendered chimneystacks, and cast-iron rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls with extensive plant growth. Square-headed windows with label mouldings, painted sills and timber sliding sash one-over-one pane windows, two-over-two pane to extension. Glazed timber panelled entrance door in porch. Square-headed timber battened door to north-east addition. Cut limestone piers with chamfered caps having ball finials, and cast-iron double-leaf gates. Set in landscaped gardens.

This medium-sized house has many significant features, such as its slate roof and timber sash windows. The label-mouldings to the windows clearly echo the detailing of the nearby Gothic Revival structures of Saint Paul's Church and the schoolhouse. It stands in its own grounds and adds variety to the architectural character of this part of Cahir.
