Farm house in Gortnagrough, County Cork

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1890. Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Rendered walls having square-headed openings to windows with stone and concrete sills and two-over-two timber sliding sash windows with some two-over-one timber sliding sash windows to west elevation. Square-headed openings to entrances having timber glazed doors with overlights. Rendered rubble stone enclosing wall with gate piers, pyramidal coping and wrought-iron gate. Rendered barn to rear (north-west) with pitched slate and corrugated-iron roof, square-headed openings to windows and entrance with timber battened door.

This classically proportioned farmhouse is a prominent landmark within the surrounding area, and its siting and its size give some indication of the wealth and status of the original occupier. It is a curious building as its shallow hipped roof, massive stacks and gable windows are unusual in a building of this style.
