Clashleigh House

Detached three-bay two-storey former gate lodge, built c. 1810, with single-storey lean-to extension fronted by carriage arch to south. Pitched slate roof with brick eaves course, rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Slate-hung walls with lozenge devices. Square-headed openings with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and replacement timber door. Segmental brick carriage arch with timber battened doors. Outbuildings to south of site.

This is a particularly complete and well-preserved example of the slate hanging technique typical of the Clogheen area. A modestly-sized yet well-proportioned house, it provides an interesting counterpoint to the many large houses in the district, particularly Clashleigh House, the gates of which are opposite, and for which this building was formerly the gate lodge. The decorative lozenge pattern adds interest to this otherwise modest domestic façade.
