Clonbrogan House

Detached five-bay two-storey with attic house, built c. 1700. Lower two-storey addition to rear with pitched slate roof and single-storey extension to east having dormer attic storey and lean-to extension under catslide roof to rear. Pitched slate roof with rendered end chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Battered roughcast rendered walls with rendered notched brick eaves course. Notched brick eaves course to two-storey addition. Square-headed window openings with timber sliding sash four-over-four pane windows and tooled cut limestone sills. Replacement uPVC windows to attic and to two-storey addition. Square-headed door opening, modified since house was built, with glazed sidelights and timber panelled door. Single-storey outbuildings to rear with pitched corrugated-iron roofs and rendered walls.

Built by the Watson family within the Butler Estate, this important example of a late seventeenth- or early eighteenth-century house retains significant early features including thin vertical openings, timber box sash windows, a notched brick cornice moulding and battered walls. The original character and form of the building has been largely preserved, a rare unaltered instance of the building techniques employed in middle-sized houses at this time.
