Headborough House

Farmyard complex, c.1830, comprising: (i) Detached eleven-bay two-storey rubble stone outbuilding retaining original aspect with elliptical-headed carriageway to right ground floor. Hipped slate roof with clay ridge tiles, rendered chimney stacks, rendered coping to party wall, and cast-iron rainwater goods on squared rubble stone eaves. Random rubble stone walls with lime mortar. Square-headed window openings (some in bipartite arrangement) with cut-stone sills, and squared rubble stone voussoirs. 6/6 horizontal sash windows with 1/1 timber sash windows to bipartite openings. Square-headed door openings with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and timber boarded doors. Elliptical-headed carriageway with squared rubble stone voussoirs, and timber boarded double doors. Set back from road in grounds shared with Headborough House. (ii) Detached seven-bay single-storey lean-to glass house, c.1890, to south-east. Lean-to glazed roof in timber frame with lined coping, and no rainwater goods. Red brick irregular bond walls. Square-headed window openings with rendered sills, and fixed-pane timber windows having intermediary casement windows. (iii) Walled garden to south-west on a square plan with random rubble stone and red brick English Garden bond walls having cut-stone coping, and camber-headed door opening with cut-limestone surround, voussoirs, and diagonal tongue-and-groove timber panelled door.

An attractive collection of buildings forming part of an extensive farmyard complex (with 22802927/WD-29-27), which in turn forms an integral component of the Headborough House estate. The glazing patterns to the openings to the outbuilding range enhance the architectural quality of the site, while the horizontal sash windows are a characteristic of nearby Lismore and the environs. Very well maintained, each structure retains its original form, and substantial quantities of the original fabric.
