Carrick View, farm house in County Meath

What is recorded here

Carrick View in Crossakeel gave a farmhouse a grand round-arched stone doorway, as though the next caller might announce a duchess. On a working farm, the duchess would more likely have four stomachs and have come about a gate left open.

Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1840, now disused. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with quoins. Square-headed openings with stone sills, and some timber sash windows. Round-arched stone doorcase with timber panelled door. Derelict stone and corrugated-iron outbuildings to site. Stone gate piers to site.

The form of this farm house is enhanced by the retention of several original features. The limestone ashlar door surround is an interesting feature of this farm house. The house forms an interesting group of agricultural buildings with outbuildings to the site.
