Farm house in Clasharoe

Detached four-bay two-storey farmhouse, c.1800, with flat-roofed entrance windbreak to ground floor on an elliptical plan. Now disused. Pitched slate roof with clay ridge tiles, red brick Running bond chimney stack, and no rainwater goods on rendered eaves. Flat rendered roof to windbreak. Unpainted roughcast walls over random rubble stone construction. Square-headed window openings with cut-limestone sills, six-over-six (ground floor) and six-over-three (first floor) timber sash windows having iron bars with one two-over-two timber sash window to ground floor. Square-headed door opening with step, and remains of timber door. Interior with timber panelled reveals/shutters to window openings. Set in own grounds.

Although having fallen into disrepair following a prolonged period of disuse a pleasantly-composed modest-scale farmhouse retains the original composition attributes including the pleasing balanced arrangement of small-scale openings, the windbreak reminiscent of a type associated with the Callan region, and so on together with substantial quantities of the original fabric both to the exterior and to the interior, thereby maintaining much of the integrity of the site while making a positive contribution to the aesthetic appeal of the local landscape.
