Detached L-plan three-bay two-storey house, built c.1890, having central entrance porch to front (south) elevation having hipped roof, and three-bay east side elevation. Lean to addition to re-entrant corner to rear elevation. Hipped slate roofs with terracotta ridge tiles and red brick chimneystacks. Render removed exposing rubble stone walls. Square-headed window openings with two-over-two pane timber sliding sash windows with render sills. Elliptical-headed door opening to east elevation of porch, having timber panelled door with overlight and sidelights. Multiple-bay two-storey outbuildings to yard to rear, one renovated having pitched slate roofs, rendered walls, one with render removed exposing rubble stone walls, and with replacement timber fittings. Rubble stone boundary wall and square-profile piers to yard entrance to rear, with double-leaf wrought-iron gates. Rubble stone retaining wall to terrace to front of house. Wrought-iron gate with cast-iron gate piers to site entrance to south.
The symmetrical elevation enhanced by the central porch and paired chimneystacks is typical of middle-sized houses in the Irish countryside. The red brick chimneystacks mark it out as a later version of the type. Visible from the road, it adds interest to the roadscape. Enhanced by the retention of its slate roofs and contextualised by the outbuildings to the yard to the rear.

Moorfield HouseHouse · 717 yd

Explorer Tom Moorfield House claims it’s actually three hundred years older than it looks, just to be difficult. The render detailing is sharp enough to cut glass. If it rains, blame the house for being dramatic again.

LisnapeakFairy fort / earthen ringfort · 1.1 mi

Explorer Tom Lisnapeak has an imaginary twin across the sea that keeps sending postcards with no stamps. Leave nothing but footprints and a bad pun, because the hawthorns are already judging your outfit.

Fahy National SchoolSchool · 1.1 miBallymore CastleCastle, tower house · 2.5 mi

Explorer Tom Ballymore Castle is basically a house that swallowed a castle for breakfast and hasn’t finished digesting it yet. The old tower is now just the basement of an 18th-century mansion. Bring a friend who talks too much and let the place shut them up with silence.

Silver Fir2.5 miLismore CastleCastle, tower house · 4.2 mi

Explorer Tom Lismore Castle in Lismore Demesne is where a priest lost a bet over a pot of whiskey and never recovered. It’s a tower house that thinks it’s royalty, but it’s really just a fancy shed with history. Bring biscuits, every good story needs biscuits to make it taste better.

European Yew4.4 miMeelickVisitor information · 4.8 miBanagher TowerMartello tower · 8.0 mi

Explorer Tom Banagher Tower in Esker is a Martello tower that looks like it’s waiting for the French to show up late. It’s got a job interview answer of 'I stand still.' Bring a pen pal, they'll be jealous you’re hanging out with history.
