Cloghkeating Castle

Detached three-bay two-storey house over basement, built c.1820, having three-storey block to rear. Hipped slate roof having cut-stone chimneystacks, with rendered chimneystacks to rear block. Render to all walls except for front and east elevations where coursed limestone rubble walls with brick surrounds to openings have been exposed. Six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows, three tripartite to front elevation, nine-over-six pane round-headed window and three-over-three and six-over-three pane windows to rear, all having limestone sills. Cut-stone string courses. Replacement timber doorcase in round-headed recess, with double-leaf door and fanlight. Door in rear has paned overlight with coloured glass. Two-storey stone outbuilding to rear having pitched slate roof and rendered limestone walls with carriage arch. Rubble wall to rear yard and walled garden to northwest.

At Cloghkeating Castle the common building type of three bays with a return to the rear has been altered somewhat by a later extension to the rear of the house. Built of fine quality materials, additional features such as the cut-stone chimneystacks, string courses and tripartite windows add further character to the house. Many of the small-pane sash windows retain early glazing, including two bull's eye panes.
