What is recorded here
Drumlease House in Carrickacroghery keeps its grand old door and spoked fanlight inside a modern glass porch. The entrance has acquired its own display cabinet. You’d feel cheeky knocking without asking how much they wanted for it.
Detached three-bay two-storey double-pile house, built c.1820, with return to rear. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and terracotta pots. Roughcast rendered walls with plinth course. Replacement timber sash windows with stone sills. Segmental-headed door opening with spoked fanlight and timber panelled door with sidelights within modern glazed porch. Roughcast rendered single- and two-storey outbuildings. Random limestone boundary wall with stone piers and cast-iron gates.
This attractive house, which is set in its own grounds, contributes to the built heritage of Dromahair. Of a symmetrical design, it retains decorative features including a spoked fanlight and timber door, and as such is of architectural note. To the rear roughcast rendered outbuildings enhance the setting.
