What is recorded here
Castle Farm House in Graigue pairs its downstairs windows but gives the upstairs ones separate openings. Courtship in the parlour, separate rooms at bedtime. Even the glass isn’t getting past the mother.
Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1860, having portico to front (east) elevation and extensions to rear (west) elevation. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls and render plinth course. Square-headed openings to first floor having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and concrete sills. Square-headed openings to ground floor with bipartite one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and concrete sills. Square-headed opening having glazed overlight over timber panelled door with flanking sidelights and timber risers. Portico comprising concrete columns and rendered entablature. Pair of square-profile rendered piers with pedimented caps and double-leaf metal gates. Rendered boundary walls to site having render plinth courses and copings.
This is an attractive and well-maintained house, which retains much of its original character despite additions to the rear. The different fenestration types distinguish the ground and first floors, as well as adding interest to the façade. Its setting, with garden and boundary walls, remains intact.
