What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c. 1810, having three-bay single-storey addition to south gable and two-bay two-storey addition and recent lean-to extension to rear. Hipped slate roofs, with brick chimneystacks. Painted rendered walls, with render quoins to front corners of main block, and plinth course. Square-headed window openings, fron having replacement uPVC windows and north gable having one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows, with painted sills. Round-headed door opening having projecting render surround with inset panelled pilasters with plinths, fanlight and half-glazed double-leaf door, with flight of render steps. Single-bay single-storey outbuilding to west having pitched slate roof and painted rendered walls.
Dromore House is typical of an early nineteenth-century modest gentleman's residence built in the classical style. The regular façade reflects a restrained use of ornamentation which is focused specifically on the entrance. The render quoins articulate the form of the structure.
