Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, currently vacant. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks, eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls throughout. Square-headed window openings with painted limestone sills throughout, having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed door opening with timber panelled door to front elevation, having fanlight and stepped approach. Square-headed door opening with timber battened door to rear (west) elevation. Ruinous remains of outbuildings to site, including former stable block and barn, having remains of pitched slate roofs and rubble stone walls. Set within its own grounds with rendered square-profile gate piers to north.

The symmetry, simplicity and order of this fine house are typical of its time. The retention of historic features, such as its fine slate roof, timber sash windows and attractive door, adds to the building's character. The related outbuildings add to its setting and context.

Clodah Castle (in Ruins)Castle, tower house · 3.5 mi

Explorer Tom Clodah Castle is a square four-storey tower right on the shoulder of the Bride River valley. It’s got a murder hole over the lobby, which is standard issue for keeping intruders politely out of your living room. Very practical architecture.

Cloigtheach (Round Tower)Round tower · 5.5 mi

Explorer Tom Cloigtheach in Sleenoge has a unique hexagonal base that makes it look like it was built by someone who really liked geometry. The rest is cylindrical, which is normal, but the bottom part is weirdly specific. Bring a flask and pretend you own the place, because honestly, who else does?
