What is recorded here
Eyon House in Eyon uses tall windows and carefully placed chimneys to look bigger than it is. Then it turns a corner into an L, like a man spreading his coat across three chairs while insisting his people are on their way.
Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey former country house, built in 1826, with single-storey extension to rear (south). Now in use as house. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and cast-iron rainwater goods. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed openings with replacement uPVC windows having limestone sills. Round-headed door opening with replacement uPVC door and fanlight. Ranges of L-plan outbuildings to rear having hipped slate roofs and rendered walls. Square-headed openings with replacement timber fittings.
The three-bay two-storey façade of this building is a common design of middle-class houses in County Limerick. The central chimneystacks and L-plan, along with the tall windows, give a sense of grandeur to the house making it appear larger in size. Although some of the original features have been replaced the form of the building still remains the same.
