House in Corravoley, County Cork

What is recorded here

Detached three-bay two-storey house, built c.1930. Recent extension to rear (south). Hipped slate roof with rendered chimneystacks and uPVC rainwater goods. Painted roughcast rendered (north) and smooth rendered walls with plinth and sill course. Square-headed openings with one-over-one and two-over-two timber sliding sash windows having stone and concrete sills with moulded rendered surrounds. Square-headed door opening having timber panelled door with overlight and moulded rendered surround. Detached two-bay two-storey outbuilding (south) having pitched slate roof, rendered walls and concrete steps.

The regular form of this house is enlivened by the opening surrounds, platband and sill course. The roughcast and smooth rendered variation creates an interesting textural contrast. An unusual feature, particularly for a hipped roof house, is the location of the chimneystacks close to the side elevations.
