What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, built in 1841. Located behind boundary wall to front site. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles and rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Square-headed window openings with limestone sills and timber sash windows. Window guards to ground floor windows. Round-headed door opening with limestone block-and-start surround, spoked fanlight and replacement timber panelled door. Outbuildings and coachhouse to yard to west of house. Single and two-storey outbuildings to yard with random coursed limestone walls and pitched slate roofs. Random coursed wall encloses yard.
Located on a sharp bend in the road on the slopes of Drumcooly Hill and with mature trees planted around, this farmhouse is pleasantly situated. The present owner's family built the house in 1841 after their family home was destroyed in The Big Wind and little of the house has changed much since. The original six-over-six timber sash windows survive as does the limestone door surround, door and fanlight and adjacent yard, all of which contribute to the character of the house.

This does not grant access. Most recorded buildings are privately owned; view them only from public ground unless the owner allows entry.
