Coolgreen House

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1860, with extension to rear (north-east) elevation. Hipped artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and overhanging eaves. Roughcast rendered walls with exposed dressed limestone in places. Square-headed openings with six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows having cut limestone sills. Segmental-headed opening with timber doorcase comprising timber panelled door flanked by carved timber pilasters with console brackets supporting cornice. Timber panels with fixed sidelights and timber fanlight above. Cast-iron door furniture. Approached by flight of limestone steps. Multiple-bay two-storey outbuilding to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with limestone sills. Square-headed openings with timber battened doors. Central segmental-arched opening. Square-profile limestone piers to front of site flanked by rubble limestone walls.

Much character is retained in this mid nineteenth-century house. The sensitive replacement of the timber windows helps to maintain the building's appearance and character. The widely spaced windows and impressive doorcase give it a sense of grandeur. The east elevation appears to give a long façade when viewed from the driveway. This further enhances the mass and dominance of the building in the surrounding countryside.
