Brookley House

Detached five-bay two-storey house over basement, built c.1730, with lower single-bay two-storey flanking wings. Now disused and derelict. Remains of pitched slate roof. Rendered dressed limestone walls with moulded eaves course and having exposed masonry to wings. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and moulded render surrounds. Dressed limestone Gibbsian door surround with decorative pediment and having limestone steps. Single-storey outbuilding to southwest, having pitched slate roof and random coursed limestone walls. Detached two-bay single-storey gate lodge now in ruins.

This country house is a notable example of Georgian architecture in Ireland. It displays interesting features such as the cut limestone steps leading to the decorative Gibbsian doorway. This ornate doorway adds artistic interest to the building and was obviously the work of a skilled craftsman. The house, together with the outbuildings and gate lodge create an interesting group of related buildings.
