Farm house in Glenaglogh North

Detached three-bay two-storey farmhouse, built c.1800, having gable-fronted porch to front (east) elevation. Pitched slate roofs with rendered chimneystack and eaves course. Render gable copings to porch. Rendered walls with plinth and sill band to ground floor, roughcast rendered walls to first floor having rendered panels, sill and platbands. Square-headed window openings with render sills and render surrounds, having two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows, some one-over-one pane timber sliding sash and fixed timber framed replacements. Square-headed door opening to porch having replacement timber battened door. Group of three single- and two-storey rubble stone outbuildings to east having pitched corrugated-iron and slate roofs. Square-headed window openings to northern building having stone sills. Square-headed door openings throughout having stone and timber lintels. Rubble stone enclosing walls with replacement wrought-iron gates.

An interesting farmhouse which has retained a great deal of its historic form and character. Its siting perpendicular to the road and the substantial chimneystack are indicative of its early construction date. The facade is curiously formal for a vernacular building, and was probably altered in the mid twentieth century, as the windows, sills and render details appear to date to this time. The various sash windows, slate roof and numerous decorative render details are among its many interesting features, while the related outbuildings add to its setting and context.
