What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey country house, dated 1800, with single-storey extension to west having pitched slate roof, single-storey recent uPVC entrance porch to front (east). Hipped slate roof with decorative rendered chimneystacks and overhanging eaves. Rendered walls with plaque inscribed: "Built by Wm. Hannan 1800". Square-headed openings with painted stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows to east elevation, recent metal windows to other elevations. Outbuilding to west with hipped slate roof, rendered walls and square-headed openings. Cut stone entrance piers and iron gate.
This hosue was formerly known as Caherelly Cottage. The horizontal emphasis and solid appearance of this house are enhanced by tall hipped roof and central chimneystacks. This form together with proportions and mass to void ratio are typical features of modestly sized country houses of its era. It retains notable features such as timber sash windows and the outbuilding to rear adds context. An interesting element to the house is the plaque inscribed: ""Built by Wm. Hannan 1800"".
