Castletown House

Attached three-bay single-storey house, built c.1820, with projecting single-bay flat-roofed entrance porch to the centre of the main façade (east). Now out of use and overgrown with ivy to the south. Associated with later house (15400116), which is set back and aligned along with this house to the north. Pitched natural slate roof with two central decorative chimneystacks having terracotta chimney pots over. Constructed of rubble limestone with flush dressed limestone quoins to the corners and flush dressing to the window openings. Square-headed window openings having cut-stone sills and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows retaining internal timber shutters. Square-headed doorcase to front face of porch (east) having replacement glazed timber door with overlight above. Set back from road to the north of Castletown-Finnea. Main entrance to the east.

An appealing single-storey structure, of early-to-mid nineteenth-century appearance, which retains its early form and character. It is very well-built, using good quality local limestone, and retains the majority of its important early fabric, including a natural slate roof and timber sliding sash windows. It is in good structural condition despite being out of use. The form of this building is quite unusual, as is its relationship with the later two-storey house adjoining to the north (15400115). It is quite a tall building for a single-storey structure and has the appearance and character of a building associated with a country estate or demesne, although there is none in close proximity. It forms an interesting group of structures with the later building (15400116) to the north and the outbuildings to the rear (15400110) and remains an important element of the architectural heritage of Westmeath.
