Detached three-bay two-storey former house, built c.1880, with Tuscan portico, now in use as school offices. Canted bay window to the south-east gable. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls with quoins, string courses and eaves platbands. Segmental-arched window openings with timber sash windows, rendered lugged-and-kneed surrounds and keystones. Segmental-arched door opening with timber panelled door, plain fanlight and sidelights. Four-bay extension to east.
The regular form of this building is enlivened by the fine Tuscan portico, which was clearly executed by skilled craftsmen. The form of the building is articulated by the architraves, string courses, eaves platbands and quoins.

Explorer Tom Kenlis Lodge is holding a grudge against the wind, which keeps trying to blow its slate off. It’s got these angled chimneys that look permanently confused about which way is up. Great spot to propos

Explorer Tom The Castle at Town Parks might be haunted by a giant who lost his shoes and never got them back. It’s a legend that’s probably made up but sounds brilliant over pints. Dare you to say hello to it out loud.

Kells Round TowerVisitor attraction · 636 ydRound Tower636 yd

Explorer Tom The Round Tower in Town Parks nearly got sold for a horse back in the day. A king was murdered inside it, so the vibes are a bit intense. A proper spot for a flask of tea and a big think.

Explorer Tom Brewer's Spruce in County Meath nearly got sold as a horse feed supplement before someone realised it was actually quite special. It’s tall enough to look down its nose at your GPS signal. Get there early and have it all to yourself.
