Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1820, having entrance breakfront to front (west) elevation. Hipped slate roof with terracotta ridge tiles, timber sheeted eaves, and centrally placed paired rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls with rendered quoins and plinth. Segmental-headed window openings with moulded render surrounds, cut limestone sills and replacement uPVC windows. Circular window opening to upper part of breakfront, with moulded render surround with voussoirs, and replacement uPVC window. Segmental-headed door opening with moulded render surround with keystone, replacement timber door, with sidelights and overlights. Wrought-iron gate to front of site.
An unusually composed front elevation, enhanced by segmental-headed openings and a decorative round window. The render quoins and window surrounds further enhance the formal properties of the house, and the mature gardens make a pleasant setting.

The VicarageRectory/glebe/vicarage/curate's house · 849 ydEyrecourt CastleCountry house · 853 yd

Explorer Tom Eyrecourt Castle ended up in the wrong place because Colonel Eyre got drunk and misread his map. It’s one of the first houses to not have walls, which was very trendy back then. Walk past slowly like

Killenehy FortArchaeological place · 1101 ydLismore CastleCastle, tower house · 1.0 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.

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.

Banagher TowerMartello tower · 4.8 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.
