Farm house in Moyrath, County Meath

What is recorded here

Farm house in Moyrath has six-sided carved gateposts guarding a modest single-storey home. The gateposts have clearly told everyone they're attached to a mansion. The house is standing well back, hoping nobody asks.

Detached three-bay single-storey farmhouse, dated 1880, on a rectangular plan. Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Roughcast rendered walls. Timber sash windows with stone sills. Projecting brick porch. Derelict timber outbuilding with pitched corrugated-iron roof to north. Bounded by rendered wall with hexagonal carved gate piers and cast-iron gates.

The modest form of farmhouse is enhanced by the retention of many interesting features and materials such as the timber sash windows, cast-iron overlight and brick porch. The setting is enhanced by the carved limestone gate piers and cast-iron gates.
