What is recorded here

Detached five-bay two-storey house over basement, dated 1785. Pitched artificial slate roof with rendered chimneystacks. Lined-and-ruled rendered walls having limestone string course between basement and ground floor. Replacement timber windows having moulded render surrounds and stone sills. One sill inscribed with name and date. Round-headed door opening with fanlight and replacement glazed timber door, flanked by carved limestone Doric pilasters with broken pediment above, with limestone steps. Two-bay single-storey random stone outbuildings to west.
This building is a representative example of Georgian architecture in Ireland. It retains many original features such as the moulded render architraves and window sill which doubles as a date stone. The fine doorway is an interesting feature that adds artistic interest to the building. The related outbuildings contribute to the setting of the house.
