Dromaher House, County Limerick

What is recorded here

Dromaher House in Drommoher puts a grand rounded opening on the front of its porch, but it's a window; the door is round the side. That's a fierce amount of masonry devoted to saying, ‘Not that one, the other one.’

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1810, having gabled porch to west (front) elevation. Hipped slate roof with red brick chimneystacks. Rubble stone walls having dressed limestone quoins. Square-headed openings having render surrounds, red brick voussoirs and surrounds and two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows. Round-headed opening to west of porch with red brick voussoirs and surround and timber sliding sash window. Square-headed opening to north elevation of porch with render surround and timber panelled door. Pair of square-profile piers flanking double-leaf gate to west of house.

The rubble stone walls of this well proportioned house are articulated and enhanced by the red brick surrounds. The regular form is enhanced by the hipped roof and central chimneystacks. The retention of the timber windows is notable as is the round-headed opening to the porch.
