Attached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1820, with recent single-bay single storey extension to south-west elevation. Now also in use as guest house. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystack and render eaves course. Rendered walls with render quoins to upper floors, channelled render to ground floor. Square-headed openings with render surrounds and replacement uPVC windows, having concrete sills and render brackets to second floor, render cornice and continuous render sill course to first floor, and concrete sill to ground floor. Timber door surround comprising engaged fluted columns supporting entablature, surrounding petal fanlight and pair of timber double-leaf doors, approached by dressed limestone steps. Set back from street with site bounded by cast-iron railings set in rendered plinth wall. Rendered piers to pedestrian entrance with cast-iron gate and wrought-iron arch with lantern above.

The tall form and elegant proportions mark this building out in the streetscape. The render detail enlivens and articulates the façade. Though the windows have been replaced, it retains a fine, well maintained doorcase, complete with double-leaf doors, fanlight and limestone threshold. The railings, gate and lantern arch contribute to the character of its setting and the streetscape.

The MooringsHouse · 9 yd

RosscarrigHouse · 17 yd

Explorer Tom Rosscarrig in Youghal-Lands is an imposing three-storey beauty from around 1800. It’s got a breakfront porch that demands respect. The hipped roof and shared chimney stack are a power move. Look up at it, don’t you dare look down!

South Abbey (Site of)Religious house, Franciscan friars · 138 yd

Explorer Tom South Abbey is basically a ghost with commitment issues; Maurice Fitzgerald built it in 1224 and then it just vanished into thin air. The friars were so busy praying they forgot to keep the building standing. Take the long way round, it deserves the effort.

IndicatedCastle, tower house · 880 yd

Explorer Tom Castle in Youghal-Lands is Tynte’s Castle, a tower house that survived the 15th century and probably some very awkward family dinners. It’s been altered so many times it doesn’t even know who its parents are anymore. Ten minutes here and you'll have a yarn for the pub.
