Castleview House, County Roscommon

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1870, with two-storey return to rear and gabled entrance porch. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls on nap plinth. Timber panelled door set in projecting gabled entrance porch. Timber sash windows having block-and-start rendered surrounds with decorative keystones to front elevation. Decorative cast-iron entrance gates flanked by limestone gate piers.

Castleview House, on the periphery of Roscommon town, owes its name to the impressive undisturbed views from the house of ruinous Roscommon Castle. Built in the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the form of the house remains unchanged while the survival of the original door and windows contribute to the architectural significance of the dwelling. The stone gate piers and cast-iron entrance gates provide a suitable entrance to the house.
