Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1870. Later side-entrance gable-fronted porch to front (south). Outbuilding to side (west) and rear (north). Pitched slate roof with rendered chimneys and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted rendered walls. Square-headed openings with two-over-two timber sliding sash windows and concrete sills. Square-headed door opening (porch) with replacement timber door. Square-headed door opening (east) with replacement timber door. Rendered boundary walls with brick coping to piers with wrought-iron gate.

The form and style of this building may indicate a Congested Districts Board house, constructed in an attempt to improve living standards throughout Ireland from 1891-1923. Despite extensions, it retains its form with its centrally-located door and symmetrical fenestration. The retention of materials such as the slate roof and timber sliding sash windows help maintain the house's character. Together with its related outbuildings, it makes a positive architectural contribution to the local rural landscape.

Explorer Tom Boulder-burial in Ballyrisode is basically a giant rock doing a bicep curl. It’s been holding that pose for so long it’s probably got a crick in its neck. Bring your nan, she’ll know more than me about lifting heavy stuff.

Explorer Tom Man-made underground passage in Ballydivlin was found in 1935 but location is unknown. It’s like finding a key without the door. Wander the field, look for odd stone patterns, and send me a pic if you feel lucky.

Explorer Tom Ballyrisode House in Ballyrisode is wearing all those gables like a fancy hat. Built in 1890 with a balcony, it thinks it’s too posh for the locals. Get a shot of that decorative moulding for me!

Explorer Tom Ballyrisode Bridge in Ballyrisode in Ballyrisode is showing off its stonework like it won an award for best arches. The voussoirs are sharp enough to cut your hair. O look up if you’re brave, but don’t get dizzy or you’ll blame the bridge for your bad balance.

Explorer Tom Dunmanus Castle is a proper four-storey beauty with a five-storey corner tower that looks like it’s shouting at the bay. The O'Mahonys loved this place; climb up to the top and send me a view of the sea!
