Grenanstown House

Detached six-bay two-storey house over half-basement, built 1695 and modified c.1800. Now disused. Two-bay breakfront with three-bay entrance porch with flat roof and rendered brick walls. Pitched slate roof, partly collapsed, with rendered chimneystacks. Rendered walls with render quoins. Square-headed window openings to main block and porch, with moulded render surrounds, with one-over-one pane timber sliding sash windows. Square-headed door opening with evidence of removed block-and-start doorcase. Doorcase had pediment with coat of arms and date of 1695. Single-storey outbuildings to site with segmental-headed openings.

Although derelict, partly ruinous and missing its doorcase, this building is an impressive structure and retains its original form, scale and decorative render quoins and window surrounds. It is one of an impressive group of early houses in North Tipperary and was once home of the D'Alton family, poet and Young Irelander Richard Dalton Williams, 1822-62, lived here as a child.
