What is recorded here

Granagh House has a front porch, but its principal entrance faces the farmyard. You can rehearse your grand arrival all you like; the house will receive you round the side, where a cow can watch you forget why you came.

Hipped slate roof with red brick chimneystack, rendered eaves course and cast-iron rainwater goods. Pitched slate roof to porch with carved timber bargeboards and cast-iron rainwater goods.

Nestled into the hillside in a sheltered location, this attractive Georgian style farmhouse retains much of its historic form and character through the retention of key historical features such as tooled limestone sills, sash windows and a fine low hipped slate roof. Like many farmhouses, the principal entrance is to the side facing the farmyard. A cobbled farmyard with historic farm outbuildings complement the character of the property.
