Carrigparson House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1870. Comprising single-bay single-storey porch to front (south) elevation and two-bay two-storey extension to rear (north) elevation. Hipped slate roof having overhanging eaves and rendered chimneystacks. Pitched slate roof with brick chimneystack to extension. Flat roof to porch. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls having render plinth course and dentillated cornice to porch. Square-headed openings having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Round-headed openings to porch with render hoodmouldings, one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and limestone sills. Round-headed opening to porch having render hoodmoulding and glazed overlight over timber panelled door.

This house is a notable example of the gentleman farmer's residence, as characterised by its three-bay two-storey form and classical proportions. The hipped roof grounds the building in the landscape and features such as the limestone sills attest to quality craftsmanship. The porch is well designed and provides the façade with an interesting focal point.
