Conway Hall

Detached three-bay two-storey double-pile house, c.1850, possibly incorporating fabric of earlier range, pre-1840, on site. Refenestrated. Hipped double-pile (M-profile) slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stack, slightly sproketed eaves, and iron rainwater goods on overhanging rendered eaves. Painted roughcast walls with rendered quoins to corners, and rendered band to eaves. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, and replacement uPVC casement windows. Elliptical-headed door opening with cut-limestone step, moulded rendered surround, and replacement timber panelled door having overlapping fanlight. Interior with timber panelled shutters to window openings. Set back from road in own grounds.

A well-proportioned middle-size house incorporating idiosyncratic attributes indicating a lingering interest in the Regency styles explored earlier in the century: for instance a distinctive treatment of the door opening distinguishes the architectural design value of the composition. Although the original form and massing remain in place together with evidence of early joinery to the interior the external expression of the composition has been undermined by the inappropriate replacement fittings inserted to the openings. The house remains of additional significance in the locality for the historic connections with the Brennan family.
