Dannanstown House

Detached three-bay two-storey over basement former mill manager's house, built c. 1835, now in use as private house. Hipped slate roof with overhanging eaves and painted rendered chimneystacks. Painted roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings having six-over-six pane timber sliding sash windows with painted stone sills. Round-headed window opening to rear having spoked fanlight to nine-over-nine pane timber sliding sash window. Round-headed entrance doorway with decorative spoked fanlight and timber panelled door with flanking timber Doric-style engaged columns with plinth blocks. Five-bay two-storey outbuilding to north, having pitched slate roof, painted roughcast rendered walls, square-headed window openings with timber fittings and segmental-arched vehicular entrances with timber battened double-leaf doors. Pair of square-profile rendered piers to road entrance, with decorative double-leaf cast-iron gates set into rendered walls terminating in pair of piers. Remains of flour mill to north.

Dannanstown House, built by Edward Furlong, manager of the adjacent flour mill, retains much of its original form and structure. Set in a mature landscape the house is enlivened by features such as its fenestration rhythm, and materials including sash windows and slate roof. The elegant doorcase is especially interesting and is a finely executed original feature of the building. The house forms part of a group of related structures including the flour mill and solidly built outbuilding.
