Clonan House

Detached two-bay two-storey house, built c. 1880, with gablet, bay window and recent aluminium porch to front (south) elevation, single-bay single-storey lean-to and single-bay two-storey extension to east with cast-iron tank. Hipped slate roof having overhanging eaves with timber brackets and rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls having render quoins and plinth course. Camber-headed openings to first floor with render surrounds, continuous sill course and one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed opening to bay window having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed openings to east elevation and two-storey extension, east elevation with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed opening having timber panelled door. Rubble-limestone wall adjoining east elevation with limestone copings and square-headed opening having timber battened door. Pair of square-profile dressed limestone pier with carved caps, double-leaf cast-iron gates and sweeping walls having render copings terminating in second pair of piers.

This well balanced middle size house retains its original form, and much of its original character. The bay window and gablet add interest to an otherwise sparsely detailed composition. Retaining its sash windows and slate roof, the house presents an early aspect and makes a positive contribution to the architectural heritage of the area.
