Boherload House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1840, having recent porch extension to front (west) elevation and return to rear (east) elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls with smooth render plinth. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows and tooled limestone sills. Round-headed door opening with timber panelled door flanked by side lights and having spoked fanlight above. Outbuildings to rear comprising single-storey multiple-bay ranges arranged around yard. Pitched slate roofs, rubble limestone walls, some whitewashed. Segmental-arched openings to outbuildings with red brick voussoirs. Square-profile rendered piers with wrought-iron gates and rendered side walls to avenue.

The hipped roof, central chimneystacks and three-bay two-storey elevation of this house is commonly found throughout Limerick. Such design features are often found large farmhouses or glebe houses. The ranges of outbuildings to the rear and additional architectural details such as the wrought-iron gates and walled lined avenue contribute further to the architectural importance of this group.
