Detached three-bay two-storey with attic accommodation house, built c. 1900, with gabled west bay having two-storey bay window to front (south) elevation. Lower single-bay two-storey gable-fronted addition to west, projecting west bay to rear (north) and gabled porch to west. Three-bay single-storey block to north-east. Pitched slate roofs with red brick chimneystack, terracotta ridge crestings, overhanging eaves, timber bargeboards to gables and cast-iron rainwater goods. Terracotta tiled roof to porch. Rendered walls with render plinth course. Roundel to rear gablet. Square-headed openings throughout. Those to front elevation and west block with render surrounds, one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows and continuous render sill courses. Square-headed opening to gabled bay to front with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash window. Openings to rear with bipartite one-over-one pane and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed openings to rear with fixed coloured glass windows. Square-headed openings to front elevation with render surrounds and timber glazed doors. Square-headed openings to porch with fixed pane windows, and timber panelled half-glazed door and overlight.
Steeply pitched roof and gables typical of architecture of time and area. Other characteristic features are tall chimneystacks, bay window and decorative elements such as bargeboards and ridge crestings. Window surrounds enliven façade and regularity enhanced by retention of timber sash windows. Porch is a notable feature, particularly because of tiled roof, door and glazing.

Coolgreine HouseHouse · 98 yd

Explorer Tom Coolgreine House in Ringacoltig is an imposing five-bay house from around 1820! It’s got canted bay windows and a portico that make it look absolutely grand. The asymmetric fenestration is a real talking point here!

TravaraHouse · 117 yd

Explorer Tom Travara in Ringacoltig is all Tudor Revival style, which basically means it thinks it’s five hundred years old but it’s just dressing up for the party. The seagulls definitely have opinions on its steep roofs. Ideal place to hide from your phone.

Martello Tower888 yd

Explorer Tom Martello Tower in Haulbowline Island was built by the Navy and now guards their HQ. It’s got wooden stairs and a water tank up top. Tell it I said g'day from across the harbour, will you?

Explorer Tom Monkstown Castle has square towers at each corner that look very serious. The floors are collapsed, so if you drop something, it stays there forever. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.

Explorer Tom Carrigaline Castle in Carrigaline East is hiding behind a lot of ivy and quarried stone. Only half the tower is really standing, but it looks mysterious. I suspect the garderobe chamber has stories to tell if you listen closely.
