Farnagh

Complex of single and two-storey outbuildings arranged around a courtyard to the rear (north/northeast) of Farnagh House (15403616), built c.1817 and extended c.1850. Single-storey stableblock to the north having pitched corrugated metal roof over. Pitched (mainly) natural slate roofs with projecting brick eaves course and having sections of cast-iron rainwater goods surviving. Brick chimneystacks to a number of ranges. Roughcast rendered walls over rubble stone construction, exposed to a number of sections. Square-headed window openings with timber louvers or one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed doorways with timber sheeted doors and half-doors, a number with overlights above. Segmental-headed carriage arches (some with exposed brick voussoirs) to a number of the ranges. Rendered rubble stone gate piers on square-plan gives access to courtyard from the west and the east. Decorative wrought-iron gates to gateway to the east. Rear elevation of Farnagh House forms part of south range.

A substantial complex of outbuildings to the rear of Farnagh House (15403616). Well-maintained, this complex maintains an early aspect and retains much of its early fabric and form. This complex forms an interesting group of related structure with the main house to the southwest and provides and interesting historical insight into the extensive resources required to run and maintain a country house in Ireland during the nineteenth century. The gate piers and the early wrought-iron gates to site completes the setting and adds to this robust composition.
