Detached two-bay single-storey with dormered attic brick bungalow, built c. 1900, in the Arts and Craft style. Square on pan, veranda to south-west corner, rectangular flat-roofed bay to south elevation, lean-to porch to west elevation, lean-to extension to north-west. Hipped and sprocketed red tile roof, clay ridge tiles, red brick slightly-tapered chimneystacks with tall clay pots, flat-roofed dormers with tiled cheeks to south, east and north slopes, cast-iron gutters on bracketed eaves, cast-iron downpipes. Red brick walling, painted smooth rendered walling to east elevation, painted timber vertical boarding to west porch. Square-headed window openings, painted timber multi-pane casement windows. Square-headed door opening to south elevation, painted timber and glazed door; square-headed door opening at porch to west elevation, painted timber panelled door, fixed pane sidelight. Set in large garden, approached by a tree-lined avenue, attached at rear to 1980s house.
This is a delightful bungalow-style house dating from the turn of the century and rich with Arts and Crafts detailing. The oversize chimneys and overhanging eaves create a dramatic effect at the end of the avenue leading to the house. This is further enhanced by the very attractive multi-paned window, the survival of which is fortuitous. The rustic veranda now infilled is another interesting feature. The house contributes to the architectural legacy of Dromiskin.

Ginnety'sHouse · 210 yd

Explorer Tom Ginnety’s has a prophecy that it would one day sell only cheese, which is still waiting to happen. It stands at the crossroads like a proud uncle who refuses to move house. Practise your Irish greeting before you approach the shopfront.

Viking BoatHeritage attraction · 211 ydGraveyard225 yd

Explorer Tom Graveyard in Dromiskin has a secret talent for making your phone lose signal exactly when you need it most. There’s a round tower and high cross nearby, all very majestic and dusty. Stick around for the light changing, it's a show.

Ard RonanRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house, house · 226 yd

Explorer Tom Ard Ronan in Dromiskin gets picked on by the wind because it stands out too much for its own good. That granite doorcase is basically shouting 'look at me' to every passing cloud. Look up, the best bit is

Round tower in DromiskinRound tower · 228 yd

Explorer Tom Dromiskin round tower thinks modern skyscrapers are tacky and lacks proper character. It got its top chopped off ages ago, so it’s definitely not trying too hard. Mind the nettles, they're the real guards here.

Drummeenagh HillMountain / peak · 1.1 miIndicatedBawn · 1.4 miCastleCastle, tower house · 1.4 mi

Explorer Tom Castle in Milltown has a prophecy that says it will fly away on a Tuesday, but no one believes it. The towers point straight at the compass, which is very organized. Look up, the best bit is always higher than you think.

Long WoodForest · 2.1 miGraveyard in Richardstown (ardee By., Richardstown Par.)Graveyard · 5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Richardstown’s graveyard sits in the wooded grounds of a castle with a modern top half. It is secretly proud of the potato it grew there in 1740. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Monterey Cypress5.1 mi

Explorer Tom Monterey Cypress in County Louth does weird yoga poses when nobody's looking, twisting its branches into shapes that defy physics. Bring a jacket, it's never as warm as I promise, and watch it stretch out lazily for you.

Graveyard in StickillinGraveyard · 6.1 mi

Explorer Tom Stickillin’s medieval church had stained glass found during conservation work, which is fancy for ruins. If it had to teach history, it would use flashcards and bad puns. Great spot to propose. Or at least to propose lunch.
