Cartron House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1830, now vacant. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Wet dash walls over plinth course. Square-headed window openings with rendered surrounds and stone sills having timber sash windows. Round-headed door opening with dressed limestone block-and-start surround, plain glass fanlight and timber door. Modern built house to north with gravel forecourt and driveway winding to road. Located to the south of Ballynacarrigy, close to the banks of the Royal Canal.

This is a well-composed and well-proportioned house, which continues to retain many salient features such as the timber sash windows and block and start door surround. Although detailing is sparse it is a fine example of domestic architecture dating to this period, with the customary fanlight and timber sash windows. It remains an attractive and appealing feature in the rural landscape to the south of Ballynacarrigy and is a valuable addition to the architectural heritage of Westmeath.
