What is recorded here
Brook Villa in Caherconlish has a newer porch hiding its handsome arched doorway. The old entrance used to welcome you personally; now it has a receptionist who says, ‘And would the door be expecting you?’
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1865, having recent porch to front (west) elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, overhanging eaves, timber brackets and cast-iron rainwater goods. Rendered walls having render quoins. Square-headed openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, external timber shutters and concrete sills. Square-headed opening to porch having double-leaf glazed door, accessed via steps. Round-headed opening, obscured by porch, having glazed overlight over timber panelled door with flanking sidelights. Pair of square-profile rusticated limestone piers to west with carved caps, replacement single-leaf metal gate and roughly dressed limestone walls.
This house is an attractive building of balanced proportions, the form of which is articulated by the render quoins. The retention of notable features such as the sash windows and the hipped slate roof with timber brackets, help to preserve the house's original character.
